How to cook scallops

Scallops are prepared in many ways: baked, blanched in a pan, or as a main ingredient in quiches or creams. The most classic recipe is the gratinado, adding a mixture of breadcrumbs, garlic, parsley and grated cheese to the scallop.

Don't overcook them

Do not overcook them, otherwise they will harden and dry out. It is also not recommended to eat them raw for hygienic reasons as, like all bivalves, they are filter feeders. Once washed and deprived of the shell, you can preserve them by freezing and even in brine, and they will last for a long time.

The scallop is a filter-feeding animal

The scallop is a different kind of seafood, perfect for grilling or as it is traditionally prepared in Galicia, baked in its own shell.

Scallops are an ideal accompaniment to any meal

It is an ideal accompaniment for lunches and dinners in times of celebrations and family gatherings in which Galician seafood is usually a great protagonist.

It is calculated 1-2 scallops per person

Utility of scallop shells

The scallops are cleaned by separating them from the shell. The shell is used in presentations, and should be washed well, even with a metal scouring pad. It is important to remove the filamentous and dark parts and wash them under running water, as they often have sand inside.
