We’ve got some absolutely stunning XL scolops here. I’m just going to show you the way in which I normally typically open them. Basically, this is the hinge joint for this shell, which is how they move around. So, sometimes when they’re nice and fresh like these are, just have to get your knife in there and just lightly open it. Just prizing that shell apart, place your knife in, and then you just got to open it nice and quickly, take a spoon, and slowly prize the flesh and the meat away from the bottom shell. It is just all about making sure that there’s absolutely no meat left on there. That’s the skirt. Completely edible. It’s just sometimes contains quite a lot of grit. This thing is called the row. Tends to sometimes be removed, which I always think is a real shame when you get them in restaurants because it is still delicious. It just cooks slightly differently to the actual scolop itself. This is the main meat of the scolop. And then this is almost like the abductor muscle that joins itself to the rest of the shell. Put my thumb in between the abductor and the main part of the flesh. And what you want to do is just gently, I’m just really showing you slowly here, prize away the rest of that flesh. And then you’re left with this perfect, beautiful scolop.

Scolopps????
That must be the biggest scallop in the universe. 😳
edit: "Scallop" is a funny word.
Bro I can't with the hair

XL. Holy crap.
Thanks!
I'm on a deserted island right now and I found some scallops. My phone has 2% left and this is how I found out how to eat these scallops that are so dense in the shore of where I'm stranded. Thank you chef
Skawlops
Yeah… knew why I never wanted to eat a scallop. Props to all who do!
Scallops and crabs have such a small amount of meat to kill something
The shell😲🥹 it's so pretty and so many things you can remake it to
Spirit Empress being op and lava being strong are more reasons for the high usage
This gentlemen, was an evisceration.
What the scallops..
The moment in the near future when we realized scallops feel all of that.
Today I learned this is what scallop shells look like
Scollips.
I've never seen a full scallop in the shell. I used to love scallops. Don't think I'll be ordering them any time soon.
You Charlie Kirk?
But what do you do with the eyes ?
How interesting I’ve never seen mussels in the shell before 🥰😁🥰😁🥰😁🥰. How do you cook the other parts??? I know how to cook scallops several ways 😊❤❤😊 Thank you 🙏
At the beginning he's handling the scallop like a 70 year old man handling an antique revolver at the antique store
I was paid to shuck scallops. Its one move. Open the shell while scooping the scallop and tossing in the bucket. Its not extra-large its a sea scallop. They are all that size. The preferred tastier smaller scallop are bay scallops
Thank you for Sharing ❤
Roe is delicious and best bit from the right seafood
You peeled the sweet meat away doing that we don't that away just the guts
…i think some salt water is needed to remove that grit….
Ewwwwwww. 😂
But tasty
I really want to live near the ocean!
Is it still alive when you do that?
eeeeeew
I’ll have a greater appreciation now when serving these in restaurants as a server and bartender.
And it felt every moment of it.
And yes, they do feel
Okay Gordon Ramsay
Is this another one of those things where we throw away a bunch of perfectly good meat because it’s “not pretty”?
Once, I ate a seafood boil that included some scallops. I ate two scallops. For the first one, I ate all parts of the scallop and it tasted delicious, but left a bitter aftertaste. For the other, I removed the black part, and it tasted even better.
"WHAT THE SCALLOP!!" -Mr. Perfect Cell
Sca-lops not sco-lobs
are the scallops still alive when you prepare them this way?
ya gotta show us how to cook the rest of the scallop (the roe/coral)
I’ve never heard of skull ups
So the muscle in the back and that dark spot shouldn’t be eaten I assume. Is the dark part its digestive system?
I'll take 50
Honestly I just want the shell
Best way is still to let it be instead of prying a living being apart like that for a miserably amount of sustenance.
XL surely you need a licence for them? Haha
It genuinely is a shame that restaurants usually throw out the roe. I’ve always wanted to try it, but I’ve never seen a place that actually serves it. 🙁
