In Puerto Natales, scallops play a leading role in our cuisine. There are two species originating from the territory: the southern scallop (Austrochlamys natans) and the Patagonian scallop (Zygochlamys patagonica).
Unlike in the rest of the world, these two species of scallops found in Puerto Natales are found in the channels of the pristine Patagonian sea, which have thousand-year ice in the vicinity where the scallops are found. It is therefore a unique product due to its natural place of origin, and with a unique flavour, due to the waters and climate in which it grows. It is also part of the indigenous culinary culture of Patagonia, and is rich in carbohydrates, fats and proteins. It has Omega 3 fatty acids, and is also a source of zinc, vitamin D, selenium, iron, magnesium and phosphorus.
