At The Fig Café, every dish tells a story — and our Bay Scallops is no exception. Scallops are all about balance. Delicate and buttery, they’re seared just long enough to bring out their natural sweetness, then paired with bright, earthy flavors that remind you of Sonoma’s simple beauty.
With every bite, you get a taste of summer: bright, tangy, and irresistibly crunchy.
We serve our scallops with roasted corn, shallots, and smoked paprika oil, creating a rich yet refreshing contrast in every bite. The sweetness of the corn, the warmth of the shallots, and the gentle smokiness of the oil come together like notes in a perfect melody.
If you enjoy this kind of flavor harmony, try our Roasted Chicken: Simple, Honest, Perfect — another dish that celebrates simplicity done with care.
Each component on the plate is locally sourced, reflecting our belief that the best meals start close to home. We don’t rush the process — scallops are seared one by one, ensuring that golden edge and tender center every time.
For a light, refreshing start, we recommend pairing this with our Fig & Arugula Salad,a signature dish that complements the scallops’ richness beautifully.
“Cooking scallops is like finding balance — a moment too long or too short, and it’s lost. But when you get it right, it’s pure perfection.”
Join us at The Fig Café in Glen Ellen to experience the art of flavor balance through our Bay Scallops.
