Fresh Stonington Dry Sea Scallops

Stonington Scallops are the most prized scallop found in the finest restaurants around the world. Flavorful and easy to prepare, scallops are your secret ingredient to transforming bland meals. Unlike “wet” scallops, dry scallops are in their natural state. Wet scallops have been soaked in water and phosphates, causing them to shrink when cooked. Lack of added water in dry scallops also allows the scallop to sear easier, bringing forth a mild sweetness complimentary to most dishes. Add to pasta or a healthy, Asian stir fry.

This mild tasting flat fish is a New England staple. Easily prepared, flounder can be dredged in flour then pan fried in both vegetable oil and butter. Seasoned with salt, pepper and lemon, this fillet serves as a simple yet filling meal over a bed of stalky greens, such as asparagus. For an even easier entrée, breaded flounder can be baked in the oven.

Fresh Monkfish Fillets

Known to taste similar to lobster, monk fillets are made of the fish’s dense & sweet tail. Monkfish fillets are boneless and easy to prepare. Dice and add to pasta, or sauté whole in your favorite wine sauce. Monkfish are also a great option for the health conscious. Considered a source of lean protein, one serving of monkfish contains less calories than the average fish fillet, yet supplies plenty of minerals.
