How to Shuck Long Island Bay Scallops

Dec-17-2009 By admin

http://www.loving-long-island.com/bay-Scallops.html
Although the entire scallop is edible most people only eat the muscle that holds the shell closed. To remove as much of that muscle as possible try to get the knife to scrape the top of the shell as you open the scallop. The typical Long Island bay scallop yields a meat about the height and diameter of a stack of 8 nickels. Some larger, some smaller, but that’s about average.

    Well, the scallop …
    Well, the scallop should be alive before you open it. You can tell if it’s alive because the shell will be closed and won’t open easily.

    If you’re worried about scallops that may be bad even though they’re alive, don’t be.

    Scallops are usually pretty safe to eat because any harmful stuff is in the guts, and most people only eat the muscle.

    Also, like all shellfish they must be harvested from certified waters.

    We use the guts for flounder bait. You have to add salt to the guts to toughen them up so they stay on the hook. My son does that part, so I don’t know exactly how much salt to use, but it looks like just a couple of table spoons per pound.
