Scallops become sweet and tender when they’re cooked properly.
When it comes to enjoying seafood, scallops are pretty unique. These shellfish are known for their excellent texture and taste but require extensive cooking preparation. Scallops become sweet and tender when they’re cooked properly, with natural flavor in each bite. We have delicious scallops available at Costas Inn. Read on to learn more about scallops and why seafood fans love them!
What Is a Scallop Exactly?
A scallop is a kind of mollusk, and if you have ever tasted clams, oysters, or mussels, chances are you have already tried something similar to a scallop. Depending on your location, you could come across either the small bay scallops or large sea scallops. However, both kinds have a soft and tasty texture and are distinguishable by their beige and light pink colors.
What’s the Taste of Scallops Like?
Scallops are known for their sweet and rich flavor. Even when cooked, they maintain a hint of their signature salty taste. Because they’re rich, it is suggested that they’re consumed in small portions.
How Are Scallops Cooked?
Preparing scallops is essential since they can easily be overcooked, which results in rubbery and unappetizing textures. After you remove the side muscles, most prefer to have them pan-seared for the best taste. A few people usually enjoy their scallops through grilling, deep-frying, or even broiling methods for a crispier texture.
Are Scallops Good for You?
The main health benefits of scallops are their nutritional value. They are rich in protein, which makes them a good option for those looking for a tasty meal that can also help with weight gain and muscle mass gain. Scallops also contain calcium, magnesium, and iron.
