Scallops are a type of shellfish, and the figures here describe them steamed. They mainly provide protein, with smaller amounts of fat and carbohydrate. Per 100g, steamed scallops provide 23g of protein, 1.4g of fat, 0.45g of salt and 9µg of vitamin B12. They also contain minerals, including selenium, phosphorus and iodine.
Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. Vitamin B12 supports normal nerve function and red blood cell formation. For people monitoring salt or fat intake, added salt, butter or sauces can change the amounts in the finished dish. Full nutrient figures are given in the tables below.
