Sea scallops are a type of mollusk known for their tender, sweet, and succulent flesh. They are bivalve shellfish with a round, fan-shaped shell and a large adductor muscle, which is the part that is typically consumed. Sea scallops are prized for their delicate flavor and firm, meaty texture. They can be prepared in various ways, including searing, grilling, baking, or pan-frying. Sea scallops are often enjoyed as a standalone dish, served with a simple sauce or accompaniments, or incorporated into seafood stews, pasta dishes, or salads.
