Seared scallop
Seared scallops are a popular dish that can be traced back to ancient Greece. The word “scallop” comes from the Greek word “skállops”, which means “shellfish”. It is believed that the first seared scallops were cooked over an open fire, giving them a smoky flavor.
The popularity of seared scallops spread to Rome, where they were often served as a starter or side dish. In the Middle Ages, scallops were a common ingredient in stews and soups. By the Renaissance, scallops were being cooked in a variety of ways, including baking, frying, and grilling.
Seared scallops continued to be popular in Europe throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. In America, the dish gained popularity in the 20th century, thanks to the rise of seafood restaurants. Today, seared scallops are a popular menu item at both casual and fine dining establishments.
