King Scallops

£10

 

About

Scallops are coldwater shellfish that can be found buried in soft seabeds.

Encased in their attractive shells are the pale muscle and orange roe, both of which are edible once cleaned.

With their delicate, sweet flavour and buttery texture, it’s no wonder that we often associate king scallops with fine dining.

But you don’t need to be a top chef to enjoy them at home. In fact, they can be surprisingly easy to cook at home. All it takes is a little care and attention.

How to Cook

Speed and 100% focus are key to cooking scallops perfectly.

If cooking out of their shells, add to a searing hot pan with butter and cook for 2-3 minutes on either side to achieve a beautiful golden caramelisation.

Serve with black pudding and pea purée for a restaurant-quality dinner party starter.

If cooking in their shells, why not try a classic Coquilles St. Jacques or scallop gratin. Bake in the half shell with a cream and wine sauce and topped with breadcrumbs and a little cheese.

What to Drink

Perfectly seared king scallops sing with a slightly dense White Burgundy with a touch of oak, Chenin Blanc, or a slightly aged Viognier.
Chardonnay, especially Chablis however pairs well with creamy scallop dishes.

Notes

Priced per scallop out of shell.
