Our Best Ideas for Scallops
Scallops are an all-star shellfish for many reasons—they are sweet, not too "fishy" and cook up quickly. In most grocery stores, you will find two types of scallops. Sea scallops are large and available year-round, while bay scallops are found more often in the winter and tend to have a higher price tag. Both types work in a variety of dishes, pairing well with an array of sauces and seasonings, as long as you know how to cook them. That said, the true beauty of scallops is how incredible they taste when prepared simply, with as few ingredients as possible, as is the case with this simple number.
