Thai Scallops with Sauce in Bangkok

Grilled Scallops with Sauce

JODD Fairs, Bangkok, Thailand

I love scallops. They are definitely one of my all-time favorite seafood dishes (just narrowly behind softshell crab).

While exploring JODD Fairs Market in Bangkok, I came across a stall selling grilled scallops with a number of uniquely flavored toppings served with a side of green traditional Thai spicy seafood sauce.

These scallops are topped with your choice of cheese, onion, pizza flavored sauce, or salted egg yolk.

You can buy an individual scallop for 15 baht, or you can get a variety of your choice (mix and match!) for just 100 baht.

After you choose your flavors, the staff put the scallops on the grill over hot coal and toast the top with a blast from a cooking torch, making sure that everything is toasted and delicious.

For what it's worth, my favorite was the cheese flavor. Scallops with melted cheese are incredible, especially when you dip them in the spicy and tangy Thai seafood sauce!
