Queen scallops, known scientifically as Aequipecten opercularis, are a medium-sized species of scallop found in the northeast Atlantic. In Ireland, queen scallops have been important to Irelands fishing communities and coastal cultural heritage. Thriving in environments with good water circulation, their presence can indicate the quality of coastal waters and contribute to the overall balance of marine life.
Queen Scallop Half Shell
Queen half shell scallops are carefully cut on the shell by hand, ensuring that the roe and meat remain attached to the shell. Queen scallops are a premium seafood delicacy known for their sweet and slightly salty flavor. The scallop meat is typically a creamy white color, beautifully complemented by the bright orange roe. This small and delicately flavored shellfish product ranges from 40-60 pieces per kg making them an ideal sharing plate
