๐ฆชAbout 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.
๐กTip
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!
