Scallops Dieppe 5-6 pc/kg.

Dieppe scallops — 5–6 pieces per kg

Whole scallops from Dieppe, on the Normandy coast of France. These king scallops have a refined, slightly sweet flavour and tender, fleshy meat. Supplied in the shell, they can be opened and cleaned before cooking.

Flavour & texture

The white scallop meat has a delicate, slightly sweet flavour with a subtle briny note. Brief, careful cooking keeps it tender and succulent. This size grade suits starters, intermediate courses and dishes featuring several scallops per serving.

Culinary uses

Once opened and cleaned, the scallops are suitable for pan-searing, grilling and oven cooking. Pat the meat thoroughly dry before searing and leave enough space in the pan for even browning. Adjust the cooking time to the size of the scallop meat. Pair with cauliflower purée, leeks, fennel, lemon or a light butter sauce. The thoroughly cleaned shell can be used for presentation or a gratin preparation.
