With their slightly sweet, mineral taste, scallop ceviche is both refreshing and healthful. An easy dish that is quick, does not require the stove, and in my house, is just for me. In the warmer months, I love to make sea scallop ceviche. Bay scallops are smaller, with shells typically no larger than 4-inches. Sea scallops have shells that can grow as big as 9-inches. This clapping motion moves a jet of water past the shell and propels the scallop forward. Unlike most bivalves, they can swim by clapping their shells together quickly-a motion controlled by their powerful adductor muscle (the round, fleshy part we eat). Scallops are in a specific group of mollusks called bivalves, which have hinged shells. They are a phylum mollusca, a group that includes squid, clams, mussels and oysters. Scallops are found all over the world, from the intertidal zone to the deep-sea. On a salad, with roasted vegetables, creamy polenta, or almost any grain at all, are always delicious.

Perfectly seared sea scallops, served with almost anything, are divine to me. No one else in my house eats them, so I have to get my fix while I’m out. Another good memory to hold onto.Īll my friends actually poke some fun of me because, when we eat out, I invariably order scallops. I did not develop this specific recipe for my friend, but going forward it will forever remind me of her. Ceviche was a dish my friend and I shared when we were last together, in a place she loved–the desert. She loved food (especially seafood) and cilantro and lime were two of her favorite things. Today I felt inspired to post this sea scallop ceviche recipe because it reminds me a lot of my friend. 27 years of friendship is a special thing, I was truly fortunate to have known her.

My friend was wicked smart, loving, deeply kind and absolutely hysterical. But today I woke up thinking about my friend and all the many good memories. I lost a close friend recently and although I had been mentally preparing for this for years, it hit me substantially harder than I anticipated. I have been struggling to get a post up the last several days.
