This fried scallops recipe is everyone’s favorite and has become a regular dish at our family fry nights. If serving as a main dish, make twice as many servings as people (about 8 scallops per person).
Ingredients
- 4 cups vegetable oil for frying
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tablespoon salt
- ½ tablespoon ground black pepper
- 12 large fresh scallops
Directions
Step 1
Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Step 2
Pour buttermilk into a bowl. Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a second bowl. Dip 4 or 5 scallops in buttermilk, then roll in flour mixture until thickly coated.
Step 3
Cook coated scallops in hot oil until golden and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat coating and frying remaining scallops.
Editor’s Notes:
We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. Amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and specific type of oil used.
