National Baked Scallops Day is an annual food festival held on March 12. Although there is a wide variety of non-vegan foods, it is sometimes tempting to sample seafood dishes with your fingers will be very good. Grilled scallops are among the best of their kind loved and tasted by millions. The soft texture and unique flavor of this clam is a popular menu item and has been found in many restaurants. Seafood lovers can now enjoy the taste of delicious Grilled Scallops as center stage as National Baked Scallops Day.
There are two parts of the shellfish that are usually sold in the market for human food. The fleshy part is the white, rich, and sweet flesh. This is the part most familiar with the name “scallops” that we see on menus.
Corals or acorns can range in color from pale coral to bright orange. This crescent-shaped shell is often removed before it is sold because it can contain toxins. However, it is sometimes sold with extra muscles. It has a bitter taste and some say it cuts down on the richness of the rest of the scallops.
These meaty krill are very low in fat and delicious in a variety of ways. Grilling them removes much of the butter and fat that would otherwise be used to cook this lean, white seafood dish.
Restaurants serve grilled scallops as both an appetizer and an entree. However, if you're into them, have one as an appetizer and then as a side dish!
