King Scallops (PECTEN MAXIMUS)

King Scallops
Gaelic: Creachan
Portuguese: Viera
Spanish: Viera, Concha de peregrino
French: Coquille Saint- Jacques
Dutch: St Jacobsschelp
German: Kammuschel
Swedish: Kammussla
Norwegian: Kamskjell
Danish: Kammusling

The scallops we serve in Garlic Butter with a croissant are the House Speciality.

These scallops are hand dived for and are much sought after. Dredging is a form of fishing but causes great damage to the seabed and in my opinion should be banned.

King Scallops have one flat shell and one curved shell. They are asexual, so reproduce alone. The orange roe being the female ova and the white roe being the male "contribution".

Scallops can be farmed but this takes 4-5 years and can be difficult to obtain the spat (microscopic baby shells).
