“When a startled scallop scoots along the ocean floor, it rhythmically claps its shells—jetting water behind it—propelling itself forward with surprising bursts of speed, away from predators...."
What does the restaurant menu item, 'surf and turf' mean to you? Do you automatically think of steak and lobster? In general, some steakhouses offer the seasonally available and fresh seafood, including mollusks, such as scallops, as part of their 'surf and turf' meal.
Scallops have a delicate, mild, sweet and buttery flavour, and are a nugget of seafood that can be a great addition to your weekly menu . These little mollusks offer a source of lean, high quality protein, in addition to many other micronutrients, that may be difficult to include in other (more common) foods.
Tune in to hear Rob and Sandra discuss these little nutrition nuggets of the sea, including some methods to prepare them!
