Scallops

Scallops are the tender, edible adductor muscles of marine bivalves commonly used in Western and Asian cuisines; they are prized for a sweet, delicate flavor and are often seared, grilled, or added to pasta and seafood stews. They feature in coastal cooking traditions and are valued for quick-cooking preparations that preserve their texture. Nutritionally, Scallops are a lean seafood choice and a concentrated source of high-quality protein, providing about 15.3g of protein per 100g. They also supply omega-3 fats and important micronutrients such as selenium and vitamin B12, which support metabolic and neurological health. From a health perspective, scallops offer a strong protein profile with relatively low saturated fat, making them a heart-friendly seafood option; their micronutrient content further contributes to their nutritional value when included as part of a balanced diet.
