This is a Fisherman’s Request item.*There are few things you will eat as perfectly constructed by nature as thimble-sized fresh bay scallops sourced from the cold, winter-washed waters of Nantucket Bay. A short season—here for a fleeting moment then gone til next year—adds to their allure. Hand-caught by New England fisherman and hand-shucked by these trusted Citarella sources, Nantucket Bay scallops delicate sweetness and firm texture is beguiling. A quick sear brings out their smooth, buttery flavor.
*This item is based on what’s in the catch of the day. If unavailable, we can help. Please see your options at checkout.
Quickly sauté Nantucket Bay Scallops in a hot pan, adding a few drops of olive oil, some basic veggies to preserve the natural flavor, and a dash of sea salt.
