Pronunciation of Scallops

[TheShellBeach]

Just that, really.
Do you say "scallops" or "scollops"?

Aren’t they two different things?

Scallops

"Skalips" here!

I don't think so. Willing to be corrected though.

Scollops for the fishy stuff, scallops for the potatoey stuff 😋

• both spelt scallops! Just the pronunciation differs.

I say scollops (south east) for the seafood. I had no idea there was a potato thing with a similar name!

Isn’t it like scone?

Scallops are potato based and scollops are shell fish? I could be wrong though 😂

Scollop. Only for the seafood. It's not a potato thing here, that's a fritter.

What's the potatoey stuff?
🤣

I think scallops is a more ‘posh’ pronounciation, for the fish thing. Scallops is also American so that might have an influence.

Oh Lord. I didn't know potatoes were sometimes involved.

Scollops for both.
Although the potato ones weren't a thing in the SE, where I am from.

Scallops not scollops. I've never heard them pronounced any other way. Scottish if that makes a difference.

ScOllops--> seafood
ScAllops--> potato fritter (I'm Northern)

Falling out of favour probably now, but sliced potatoes that are battered and deep fried. Usually only available in chippers where I live.

Potato thing is either a potato thing sold in a fish and chips place, bit like a fish cake, but potato or mostly potato and some fish, or scalloped potato as photo.

Scallops for both. In Scotland. Have only heard scollops on TV.

Pronounced scollop, whether seafood, potato or an edging!

This.

I didn't realise it also came like a gratin!
This is what I was thinking of....

Googled scalloped potatoes and it looks a bit like gratin/dauphinoise? I say scollops and dofinwarse 😄

NE Scotland scallops for the fishy things. Never heard of anything potatoey with a similar name. They're obviously not a thing here.

Scallops where I’m from is just slices of potato dipped in flour or thin batter and deep fried. Nothing like dauphinois. I say scollops for both.

Scallops. I'm in Ireland but I don't know if that makes a difference. Its not something I ever have cause to say really though. Seafood is not for me so it's not something I would ever order or prepare.

I'm keen to know which pronunciation is correct for the curvy edging on fabric type of scallop!
