Scallops are the sea's buttery gift, celebrated for their briny flavor and smooth texture. These mollusks are typically consumed for their delicious adductor muscle.
There are 18 commercially harvested species of scallops, predominantly sea and bay scallops, and their color can help distinguish between genders: white for males, pink for females.
When selecting scallops, it’s common for home chefs to confuse the rare pink female scallops with spoiled ones. They are just as delicious and unique.
Despite being less common in nature, white male scallops dominate markets due to their uniformity, often leading to confusion for new scallop cooks.
