What Exactly Is A Scallop?
A scallop is a type of mollusk, and if you’ve ever tasted oysters, clams, or mussels, chances are you’ve already tried something similar to scallops. Depending on your location, you might come across either the small bay scallops or larger sea scallops. However, both types have a soft and delicious texture and are distinguishable by their light pink or beige colors.
What Do Scallops Taste Like?
Scallops are renowned for their sweet and delightful flavor. Even when cooked, they maintain a hint of their salty taste. Because they are so rich, it is suggested that they be consumed in smaller portions.
How Are Scallops Prepared
Preparing scallops is crucial as they can easily be easily overcooked, resulting in a rubbery and unappetizing texture. After removing the side muscles, most prefer to have them pan-seared for an optimal taste. Some people often enjoy their scallops through deep-frying, grilling, or even broiling methods for a more crispy texture.
