Our Scallop Shells

Scallop shells are often thought of as little more than a by-product of the fishing industry, and once the scallops have been extracted, their shells are often thrown back overboard and go to waste. In fact, these shells can be put to a myriad of uses. From craft projects to use as serving platters in the restaurant trade, scallop shells are ornate, beautiful and incredibly versatile.

A foodie’s dream

Scallop shells can be a very quirky and unique addition to the dining table, whether for use at home or more widely in the commercial food industry. They can be used to serve the scallops themselves or for other fish dishes, bringing a little touch of nature to the table. One advantage to these shells is that they are dishwasher, microwave and oven safe, so in busy kitchens they can be reused time and time again.

Limitless crafts

There is almost no end to the crafty uses for scallop shells. From painting to glitter glazing, these shells can be drilled, written on and decorated to your heart’s content, and can become beautiful pieces of home décor. They are ideal candleholders because they can withstand the heat, and with lit tea lights can become a wonderful focal point to a cosy sitting room.

Wedding favours

These days happy couples are always on the lookout for something unique – something which will make their wedding stand out. Scallop shells can make fantastic wedding favours for guests, and their intricate beauty makes them incredibly photographable for social media. Handed out at the evening reception, they’re a wonderful extra touch at a wedding.
