Hokkaido Scallops
Hokkaido scallops are often referred to as Japanese scallops. Renowned for their distinct sweet and buttery taste, these scallops boast a delicate texture that melts in your mouth. They are harvested off the northern coastline of Hokkaido, where the chilly waters contribute to their sweet, juicy flavour and firm texture. Sustainable sourced by our friends at Organic Ocean.
COOKING TIP: With so much natural flavour already we love these scallops sauteed in a garlic butter and lemon sauce. Simple yet fantastic. Remove scallops from packaging, pat dry and season with salt and a pinch of pepper. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and butter to large cast iron skillet or sauté pan on medium-high heat. Heat to almost smoking point and add scallops. Sear scallops 90 seconds per side and remove from pan and set aside. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 minced cloves of garlic into the same skillet. Heat for 1 minute, add 1.5 tablespoons of lemon juice and return scallops to pan. Sear scallops in mixture for 1-2 minutes, turning often to soak up all the delicious flavours. Sprinkle with additional salt and pepper if you desire and serve immediately. Pair with grilled vegetables and parmesan risotto. Bon Appetit!
