Scallops are a tender, sweet-flavored shellfish prized for their delicate texture and mild, briny taste. The edible part is the round adductor muscle, which cooks quickly and is most often seared in a hot pan, grilled, or baked. Scallops are sold fresh or frozen, typically shucked and ready to cook.
Nutritionally, scallops are a lean source of high-quality protein and are low in fat, with only small amounts of carbohydrate. They also supply minerals such as phosphorus, selenium, and magnesium. Their lean, high-protein profile makes them a popular choice for balanced and calorie-conscious meals.
