Scallops

Scallops are a popular favorite amongst seafood lovers. Despite being on the smaller side, these delectable bites are packed with fresh seafood flavor. To some, they are preferred served as an appetizer, popularly enjoyed wrapped in crispy bacon. To others, scallops are best in the main course. Common dishes are pan-seared scallops with pasta, served in a light or creamy white/oil based sauce. They also pair wonderfully alongside any steaks for a classic summertime surf & turf meal.

You can find scallops available in our seafood case when in season. Fresh loose scallops as well as freshly made Bacon Wrapped Scallop Skewers are available.
