Scallop with coral
Scallop with coral
Scallop with coral includes the firm adductor muscle and coloured roe-bearing coral, whose softer, more briny character distinguishes it from scallop meat alone.

About Scallop with coral
Scallop with coral is a scallop portion that includes the adductor muscle and the coloured roe-bearing part, commonly called the coral. It may be sold in the shell or cleaned and chilled or frozen; the amount of coral retained can vary.
The adductor is firm and mildly sweet, while the coral is softer and has a more pronounced, briny flavour. Both parts can be cooked, though texture and colour change with cooking. This differs from scallop portions sold with the coral removed.
