National Fried Scallops Day

Fried scallops are a seafood dish made from scallops that have been battered or breaded and deep-fried until crispy and golden brown. Scallops are a type of mollusk that are found in the sea and are prized for their tender, sweet flesh. To make fried scallops, the scallops are typically cleaned and patted dry, then coated in a mixture of flour, breadcrumbs, and seasonings before being deep-fried in oil until they are cooked through and crispy on the outside. Fried scallops are often served with lemon wedges, tartar sauce, or other dipping sauces and are a popular appetizer or main course at seafood restaurants.
