Summer is the season for seafood and Trader Joe's new Peruvian Bay Scallops are the perfect dish.
Unlike some of the other scallops you'll find in supermarket fridges, Trader Joe's new Peruvian Bay Scallops are sustainably sourced. The scallops come from a supplier who employs divers who dive deep into the waters of Peru’s coastal bays to hand-collect scallops. This method of harvest is more sustainable because it prevents by-catch, while also ensuring consumers end up with the highest-quality scallops. As Trader Joe's explains, "It’s a difference that you can taste immediately: these Peruvian Bay Scallops have a mild, elegantly buttery flavor and, when cooked to the right doneness, have a firm, springy texture that plays particularly well against pastas and citrusy sauces."
Perfect for everything from stews to salad, these Peruvian Bay Scallops are an excellent summer option.
