All 13 Scallop Dishes

Hand-Dived Scallop with Kristal Caviar

Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester

Mayfair·$$$$

£215.00

Seared hand-dived scallop with citrus beurre blanc and Kristal caviar.

Tip: If you're doing the three-course a la carte at £215, this is one of the strongest starter options. The caviar supplement on the tasting menu is £35 extra.

Crispy Scallop and Foie Gras Roll

Royal China Club

Marylebone·$$$

£12.50

Deep-fried filo roll with scallop and foie gras filling.

Tip: This is the most premium dim sum item on the menu and not available at the regular Royal China branches. Worth ordering once to see the difference in ingredient quality.

Orkney Scallops

Naughty Piglets

Brixton·$$$

£16.00

Seared scallops with seasonal accompaniments — the preparation changes with the resident chef.

Tip: Ask Margaux or the team to pair a wine with this — the scallops are a great match for the Burgundy-style natural whites she stocks.

Orkney Scallop with Périgord Truffle & Potato Butter

The Clove Club

Shoreditch·$$$$

£24.00

Fresh scallop in its shell with Périgord truffle and silky potato butter sauce.

Tip: One reviewer called the scallops the best dish on the menu — the cooking is so precise that the truffle and potato butter elevate without overshadowing the scallop itself.

#594% recommend

Scallop Shui Mai

Yauatcha

Soho·$$$

£16.00

Steamed dumpling topped with a whole scallop and tobiko caviar.

Tip: The scallop shui mai is included in the Theatre Menu at £35.50pp and the Infinite Yum Cha at £45pp — both are better value than ordering a la carte if you're having three or more dim sum dishes.

Scallop (Hotate) with Torch

Sushi Tetsu

Clerkenwell·$$$

£187.00

Fresh scallop lightly charred under the blowtorch, sweet and smoky.

Tip: The torch is applied tableside — you'll see and smell the charring happen. Eat it immediately while the top is still warm.

#792% recommend

Scallop Isobe Age

HIMI

Soho·$$$

£14.50

Fresh scallop wrapped in seaweed and lightly deep-fried.

Tip: Eat it immediately while the batter is still crackling — don't let it sit.

Scallop with Sea Vegetable Consommé

Core by Clare Smyth

Notting Hill·$$$$

£20.00

Sweet fresh scallops diced and served in delicate sea vegetable broth.

Tip: The consommé is the star here — it's clear, silky, and delicious. Don't miss a drop at the end.

#988% recommend

Raw Scallop with Gooseberry Jus and Olive Oil

Evelyn's Table

Soho·$$$

£135.00

Raw scallop in acerbic gooseberry jus finished with piney olive oil.

Tip: This dish is intentionally minimal — it's about the scallop's sweetness and the gooseberry's acidity. Don't expect complexity, expect clarity.

Scallop with Sea Vegetable Consommé

The Ledbury

Notting Hill·$$$$

£22.00

Fresh scallop diced and served in silky sea vegetable consommé.

Tip: This dish is all about the quality of the scallop and the purity of the broth. Drink the consommé at the end — it's worth every last spoonful.

Isle of Mull Seared Scallop and Honeyed Iberico Pork Cheung Fun

A. Wong

Pimlico·$$$

£175.00

Silken rice noodle rolls filled with seared scallop and sweet pork.

Tip: Let the cheung fun sit for 30 seconds after arrival — the noodles are extremely delicate when steaming hot and easier to eat once slightly cooled.

#1285% recommend

Scallops with Bacon & Malt Vinegar

The Devonshire

Soho·$$$

£16.00

Three meaty scallops, lightly roasted in shell with crisp bacon and vinegary sauce.

Tip: Eat them straight from the shell while warm — don't let them cool.

Scampi & Chips

Fryer's Delight

Holborn·$$

£8.50

Breaded scampi tails with chips.

Tip: Part of the original 1968 menu that hasn't changed. The scampi is fried in the same beef dripping as everything else.
