Seafood

Scallops have a rich history dating back to ancient times, with evidence of their consumption by early civilizations. These delectable shellfish are highly prized for their sweet, delicate flavor and tender texture. In modern times, chefs like Gordon Ramsay and Thomas Keller have elevated scallops to gourmet status, showcasing their versatility in both fine dining and home cooking. The best scallops can be found in regions like Nantucket, Massachusetts, and Hokkaido, Japan, where the cold, pristine waters yield the highest quality mollusks. Whether seared to perfection or served raw in ceviche, the key to a stellar scallop dish lies in sourcing the freshest, highest-grade specimens.
