About Peruvian scallop
Peruvian scallop is the edible adductor muscle of a scallop harvested in waters off Peru, commonly sold fresh or frozen. The muscle is typically ivory to pale pink, with a smooth, tender texture when cooked gently and a mild, faintly sweet, briny flavour. It is used in seafood dishes and can be cooked by searing, grilling, or other brief methods.
The market form may be sold as an intact muscle, either wet or dry, or with other shellfish parts depending on processing. Added water or treatment can affect its cooking behaviour and measured composition. The common name identifies a geographic seafood category rather than a guaranteed size, harvest method, or processing specification.
