When is National Baked Scallops Day?
Sunday March 12thThe scallop is a common delicacy on March 12th and is commemorated on National Baked Scallops Day and a common delicacy.
Scallops are a cosmopolitan family and can be found in all of the world's oceans. They are one of the world's most popular shellfish and highly coveted as a food source.
There are two fleshy parts of the scallop that are traditionally sold at the supermarket for human consumption. The adductor muscle is the white medallion of meat, which is both rich and sweet. This is the piece that is most popular as the "scallop" on a menu.
The coral or the roe is also available, and it can range in color from pale coral to bright orange. This crescent-shaped piece is usually rejected before the scallop is sold at market because it may contain toxins. However, it is also sold attached to the adductor muscle and can be sold on the adductor muscle. It is bitter, and some claim it reduces the richness of the rest of the scallop.
These meaty mollusks are very low in fat and are deliciously prepared in a variety of ways. Baking them omits a significant amount of the butter and fat that otherwise go into cooking this lean, white seafood.
