About Scalops

Scallops are tender, nutrient-rich shellfish prized in many cuisines, particularly Mediterranean, French, and Asian. Harvested from both saltwater and freshwater, scallops are known for their sweet, delicate flavor and firm texture. They are an excellent source of lean protein, containing essential amino acids, and are low in fat and calories, making them a healthy choice for weight management. Scallops also provide important vitamins and minerals, including B12, magnesium, and zinc, which support energy production, heart health, and immune function. Additionally, they are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which promote brain and cardiovascular health. However, preparation methods like deep-frying or pairing them with heavy butter-based sauces can increase calorie and fat content. Opting for healthier cooking methods, such as grilling, steaming, or searing, preserves their natural flavor while maintaining their nutritional benefits. Scallops are a versatile seafood option perfect for elevating any dish.
