Our Scallops in Half Shell, sourced from British waters, offer a range of health benefits while providing a delicious seafood option for your meals. These wild-caught scallops are packed with essential nutrients, making them a nutritious choice for any diet. They are rich in protein, which supports muscle growth and cell repair, and contain vitamins A and B12, niacin, phosphorus, and selenium. These vitamins and minerals contribute to overall well-being, supporting everything from vision and skin health to energy metabolism and immune function.
In addition to these nutrients, scallops are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are crucial for heart and brain health. Omega-3s help reduce inflammation and may lower the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer. The presence of vitamin D in scallops also ensures you get enough calcium for healthy bones and teeth. Moreover, scallops provide other important minerals like zinc, iron, sulphur, and calcium, further enhancing their nutritional profile.
Scallops in Half Shell are incredibly versatile and can be featured in a variety of dishes. Whether you’re preparing a gourmet pasta dish or a light and refreshing salad, these scallops add a touch of elegance and flavour. One of our favourite recipes is the Seared Scallop Pasta with Burst Tomatoes and Herbs, which is perfect for dinner parties or special occasions. Serving this dish with a crisp, fruity Sauvignon Blanc white wine from New Zealand will elevate your dining experience. Enjoy the taste and benefits of our premium Scallops in Half Shell today.
