Scallop meat Dieppe fresh with coral (roe)

Fresh Dieppe scallop meat with roe

Fresh scallop meat from Dieppe, on the Normandy coast of France, supplied without the shell and with the roe attached. The white scallop meat has a refined, slightly sweet flavour. The soft orange to cream-coloured roe adds a fuller, briny note and brings extra colour to the dish.

Flavour & texture

The white meat is tender and fleshy, remaining succulent when cooked briefly and carefully. The roe has a softer texture and a more pronounced flavour than the white meat. Together, they offer a pleasing balance of delicate sweetness and briny notes.

Culinary uses

Suitable for pan-searing, grilling and gentle oven cooking. Pat the scallop meat thoroughly dry before searing and leave enough space in the pan for even browning. Adjust the cooking time to the size of the scallops. The roe can be cooked together with the white meat or used separately in a sauce. Pair with cauliflower purée, leeks, fennel, lemon or a light butter sauce.
