Sweet & Tender Nantucket Bay Scallops

With Butternut Squash Puree & Hazelnut Brown Butter

To be a great bay scallop, you’ve got to have a great home. This month’s scallops hail from Nantucket Island, MA the undisputed peak harvest location for scallops in the culinary world. Scallops’ flavor, like fine wines, are heavily influenced by salinity level, water temperature, plankton percentage and water turbulence.

Our desire for success goes hand-in-hand with an underlying obsession for perfection. Every meal must be perfectly plated. Every cut of meat must be boiled, braised, baked, or pan-fried to perfection. This is what inspires us.
