About Atlantic bay scallop
Atlantic bay scallop refers to the small edible adductor muscle of a bay scallop harvested in Atlantic waters. The raw muscle is pale, smooth and firm, with a mildly sweet, briny flavour. Scallops may be sold in the shell or as shucked meats; the latter are the form most commonly used as an ingredient.
The meat is cooked briefly by methods such as searing, steaming or baking, and can become tough if overcooked. Commercial scallop products may be sold fresh, frozen, or treated with added moisture or other processing aids. These forms can differ in texture and cooking behaviour, so the product form matters when describing the ingredient.
