Did you know Scallops have eyes? Up to 200 of them! Did you know they can migrate? No? Me neither. Still, one thing I do know: they taste great curried!

Every year during Scallop season from about early June through to December, Kyeema stocks up on Tassie Scallops and passes them on to lines of eager customers. They are a true winter delicacy, a way of life for Taswegians. Our scallops come primarily from Bass Strait and the east coast. They are shucked individually - a mammoth task! - before being sold. 

Traditionally, scallops are curried. Crumbing and frying works fantastically well too. In fact, stir-fries and pastas are also excellent. You know what, any way you have them – even raw – scallops are amazing!

Also known as Commercial Scallops or Tassie Scallops, they are primarily found in the Bass Strait, but can be sourced from the East Coast and as far south as Hobart and Bruny Island. They have a firm flesh, delicate flavour and varied size.
