🦪About This Shellfish
They are part of the oyster family, a little bit like clams. They are called scallops because of their beautiful scallop-shaped shells.
They also have two kinds of meat, the meaty part called scallop, and the red and white soft part called roe.
💡Tip
In the United States, the roe is usually discarded and only the scallop part is used, but to be truthful, I gently cook the roe and give it to our dogs; they love them!
