Tips and Need to know

Tip - How to open the Fresh scollops ?

Fresh scallops are actually not difficult to handle.

The scallops have two sides, one curvy and the other flat.

We don't use brute force to open the scallops, my tip is just focus on the flat side to separate the meat from the shell.

Use a knife to press against the inner shell of the flat side, and gently slide it along.

The moment the meat and shell separate, the scallop opens by itself.

Need to know - Which part to eat ? How to take the meat ?

The white part in the middle is referred as meat, it is the muscle. and the orange part is coral it is also eadible. The side muscle could be eaten too, but is a lot more harder.

We often only keep the meat in the centre, you want to gently press the left thumb on it and put the knife gently under the sand sac.
