About Mollusks, scallop, mixed species, raw
Scallops are bivalve molluscs prized for the plump, ivory-white muscle that holds their two fan-shaped shells together. It is this single muscle — sweet, tender and faintly nutty — that ends up on the plate; the rest of the animal is usually discarded. Sea scallops are large and meaty, while bay scallops are small and especially delicate, and both are among the most highly regarded of all shellfish.
Scallops are very lean and protein-rich, with about 69 calories per 100 grams raw, around 12 grams of protein and well under a gram of fat. They also supply selenium, vitamin B12 and phosphorus. Plain scallops are naturally low in sodium, though watch for added salt in some processed or 'wet' scallops that have been soaked in a preservative solution.
Scallops cook in moments, which is both their appeal and their pitfall: a minute too long turns them rubbery. The classic treatment is a hard, fast sear in a hot pan to form a golden crust while the center stays just translucent. They suit butter, garlic, lemon and white wine, and the freshest ones are even eaten raw as crudo or in sushi.
