San Francisco’s Perbacco has a great assortment of crudo (the Italian take on sushi), but Chef Staffan Terje’s scallop version is our favorite.
What to buy: Make sure to buy the freshest scallops you can find, and let your fishmonger know you’ll be serving them raw so he or she gives you a top-quality selection.

Beverage pairing: Tōzai Living Jewel Junmai Sake, Japan. A simple dish with a lot of purity deserves something similar. This sake merges gentle flavors of tropical fruits, flowers, and some spice atop a clean, well-balanced palate with enough body to hold its own with the rich scallops.
