raw scallops

Sashimi-grade shellfish medallions

Raw scallops are scallops served uncooked, typically very fresh and sliced thin.

They appear in dishes like sushi, sashimi, crudo, and ceviche, where acid from citrus juice partially denatures the proteins without heat: The raw scallops were dressed with yuzu and sea salt.

Quality matters—only sushi-grade scallops should be eaten raw.
