Mark your calendars to celebrate National Fried Scallops Day with us on October 2nd! If you’re looking for a delicious plate of seafood in NH, Jasmine’s Famous Roast Beef, Seafood, & Pizza is the perfect place to visit. We may have roast beef in our name, but that doesn’t mean we don’t know how to prepare the best plate of fried scallops you’ve ever had!
What Are Scallops?
It may surprise some that the term scallop is actually a general word that refers to a variety of marine bivalve mollusks. Mussels, oysters, and clams are also part of this species! The term scallop refers to the meat inside the shell.
What’s even more interesting is that these mollusks can be found in any ocean worldwide. Because of this, scallops are considered a popular food source for many around the world!
Ways to Enjoy Scallops
There are three types of scallops typically eaten in the US: bay scallops, calico scallops, and sea scallops! The best part about a scallop is that it doesn’t need much extra flavoring and seasoning; they have enough flavor to enjoy on their own!
Scallops come in a variety of sizes. Choose a large scallop medallion to focus as the center of your meal. From there, pair it with your choice of rice, potatoes, and a variety of vegetables, or grab some smaller scallops to pair with a savory plate of pasta! Keep in mind that these are just two examples of the numerous ways to pair your meal with scallops. There are also many different ways to prepare your scallops, like baking, broiling, grilling, or pan searing!
NH’s best seafood is at Jasmine’s!
Although we covered some options of how you can prepare your scallops, we’d like to argue that our own fried scallop plate takes front and center for National Fried Scallops Day. Paired with fries, onion rings, and coleslaw, our fried scallops can settle those seafood cravings. If you’re in the mood for a little extra variety, you can order your fried scallops with shrimp and clams!
