About Sea scallops

Sea scallops are nutrient-rich shellfish commonly found in coastal waters and prized in various cuisines. Mild and slightly sweet in flavor, they are a staple in seafood dishes, particularly in French, Mediterranean, and Asian cooking. They are a low-calorie food packed with protein, making them an excellent option for muscle development and satiety. Sea scallops contain essential nutrients like selenium, vitamin B12, and phosphorus, which support bone health, energy production, and immune function. They are also a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, promoting heart health and reducing inflammation. However, portion control is advised as scallops can absorb sodium during processing, and they may be high in cholesterol for some individuals. Often prepared grilled, seared, or baked, their delicate texture and versatile flavor make them a popular choice for health-conscious and gourmet dining alike.
