These days to visit the seafood market, found that the scallops are significantly more than in previous days, which also reminds people all the time that the "scallop season" has arrived. This season is also the time when the scallops are the most tender and fat, and after a while, the scallops will have a huge shell, and the scallop meat inside will become thinner, and the best time to eat scallops will be missed. Every time I go to the seafood market to pick scallops or other seafood, I will go upstairs and downstairs with my uncle, who has grown up on the seashore since childhood, and the family has been a fisherman by the sea for generations. Because the children come to work in this city, the old two families are taken over to bring the children, and they also have the experience of learning to choose seafood from the uncle downstairs. Seaside people share how to pick scallops, remember "5 pick 1 question", buy scallops fresh and fat:
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="16" >, pick the big and not the small</h1>
This selection of scallops must first pick a head, of course, "pick the big not pick the small". Generally large scallops, scallop meat column fat, skirt and other edible parts are also plump. And smaller scallops, scallop meat column is thin, other edible parts are relatively weak, removing the proportion of the shell, the combination is far less affordable than the selection of large scallops.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="16" > second, close your mouth and do not open your mouth</h1>
Scallops are not big, the key is to be fresh and fresh. Scallops are generally transported out of the dock early and quickly transferred to neighboring cities. However, some scallops that are not sold in some aquatic product shops on the same day are usually preserved with cold and fresh food, and then continue to sell them the next day. Whether this scallop is the living scallop of the day, just look at whether there is an opening. In general, fresh scallops are closed, even if you occasionally open a small mouth to breathe, a light touch will quickly close. The scallops in the mouth are basically dead scallops, and most of them are not fresh.
The selection of scallops also depends on the time: if you go to buy in the morning, the scallops have more openings, it must be the scallops that were not sold yesterday, it is best not to buy. If there are basically no scallops with openings, they are the live scallops of the day, and you can buy them with confidence. If you go shopping in the afternoon, you have to pick the scallops with closed mouths, and the scallops that open your mouth must not be selected, most of them are not fresh.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="16" > third, fresh and not fishy</h1>
In addition, the shell of fresh scallops is bright and vivid, and the most critical point is to pick up a few scallops at random and smell the smell. Fresh scallops have a unique seafood smell, but also a trace of seafood smell; not fresh scallops smell a particularly dignified fishy smell, and lose the umami taste of seafood.

Scallops are also light, heavy, fat and thin, there are also old, weak, sick and disabled, even if it is the best time to eat scallops, it is inevitable that there will be a few poor quality scallops. The same size of scallops, take a sweep in the hand, to choose a heavier scallop, the meat is plump, fresh and tender; the lighter weight is mostly thin scallops, it is best not to choose, the meat taste will certainly not be good.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="16" >5, male and female free choice</h1>
Scallops have male and female, the most characteristic sign is the reproductive glands of scallops, the reproductive glands of female scallops are orange-red and vivid in color, while the reproductive glands of male scallops are milky white or clean white, and the color is relatively pale. Some people also advocate choosing the female scallops as much as possible, which taste relatively good. This is actually not necessary, not absolute, choose scallops, male and female free choice, what you like to pick what you want. Pick up a scallop and look inside the light, the orange-red one is the female scallop, and the clean white one is the male scallop.

Now, most of the scallops on the market are sold with sea sand residue, and you have to ask the price before buying, and ask whether the price is before cleaning or after cleaning. Can not underestimate this point, a pound of scallops, after the store with a high-pressure water gun cleaning, at most six or seven two, folding scale at least three or four percent.
