Large Sea Scallops, 10/20 (1 pound)
Sea scallops are a type of edible mollusk that are highly valued for their sweet and delicate flavor, firm and meaty texture, and impressive size. They are often considered a gourmet seafood item and can be found on the menus of many high-end restaurants.
Sea scallops are typically harvested from deep-sea waters and can range in size from 2 to 3 inches in diameter. They are distinguished from smaller bay scallops by their larger size and plump, meaty texture. The edible portion of the scallop is the adductor muscle, which is the muscle that the scallop uses to open and close its shell.
Large sea scallops can be prepared in a variety of ways, including searing, grilling, broiling, baking, and frying. They are often served with a simple seasoning of salt and pepper, lemon juice, or a light sauce that complements their delicate flavor. Large sea scallops are also a popular ingredient in seafood stews, chowders, and pasta dishes.
Sea scallops are a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals, including vitamin B12, magnesium, and potassium. However, they are also relatively high in cholesterol, so they should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
