Recipe Introduction

A scallop is a type of marine mollusk of the Pectindae family. They range in size from 2 inches to 5 inches and have the ability to swim and leap about by snapping their shells. They also snap their shells when their eyes sense a change of light or danger approaching. The muscle used for these activity is the only part of animal that is eaten. Scallops are a highly prized source of food, known for their delectable taste and the variety or ways in which they can be eaten. Depending on where you are in the world, scallops will be prepared differently. In European cuisines, scallops are commonly prepared in a quiche or cooked into a savory custard. Scallops in Japan are served in soups or they can also be prepared in sushi. In Western culture, scallops are usually sauteed in butter, breaded, or deep fried. To celebrate today, enjoy some delicious fried scallops paired with a glass of white wine. Bon appetit! Punch Bowl
