sea scallops
Large edible mollusks
Sea scallops are large edible mollusks harvested from the Atlantic Ocean, prized for their sweet, delicate meat.
They're distinguished from the smaller bay scallops by size—typically one to two inches in diameter.
In cooking, sea scallops are often seared to create a caramelized crust: The sea scallops were perfectly seared, golden on the outside and tender within.
