Wandered into a random take away and ordered some fries n onion rings. Guy behind the counter proceeds to have a meltdown because he's out of onion rings. To compensate me for this great embarrassment he offers SCALLOPS, free of charge! I don't care, give me my food in the most convenient way mentally unstable fast food worker. Wait....what is this poo poo?  This looks like the entrails of thousands of clams and star fish dredged from the depths of the local estuary. It tastes like raw sewage. Do people actually eat this crap? e:typo The Real Amethyst fucked around with this message at 19:51 on Aug 23, 2021 |

Doesn't look like any kind of scallop I have ever seen cooked. Looks like really flattened bad pierogis.

Yeah, scallops look like a stylish clam shell-wise, but have a completely different shape, taste and texture. They're like perfect little cylinders of white shellfish meat. As with most things, deep frying them is a good idea but the only way I didn't like them was raw. Best ones are the big sea scallops where you get less than a dozen per pound. At worst they just don't have any strong flavors to potentially offend anybody beyond "is a kind of seafood."

The big sea scallops are the best because you can get a great sear on them without overcooking it (like calamari, they turn to rubber) Bay scallops aren't worth the time imo. Also, Nikumatic posted:a scallop is a shrimp that dreamed to be a marshmallow ----------------

sean10mm posted:Yeah, scallops look like a stylish clam shell-wise, but have a completely different shape, taste and texture. They're like perfect little cylinders of white shellfish meat. The part of a scallop that you buy at a grocery store or restaurant and eat is not the entire creature. It is just the adductor muscle that opens/closes the shell. It's the same as how you don't eat a whole entire shrimp*, you just eat the tail meat. Because that's the part that tastes really good and has a wonderful texture if you don't butcher the cooking process. Scallops while alive look a lot like clams or mussels, but we don't cook/eat them them the same way as clams/mussels. *there are some cases where you do eat the entire shrimp except maybe part of the exoskeleton and I love thos but when you think of "shrimp as a food" in a vacuum your mind probably goes to shrimp tail meat

that's a potato scallop, OP, and it's a necessary item on any fish and chipper's menu. you may also know them as a potato cake if you are wrong and bad I don't know why you would find it tasting like sea at all, maybe the chipper's fryer was dirty oil idk. They are unrelated to sea scallops either way (which also taste good and not like sea) I recently had sea scallops with homemade XO sauce and daikon ribbon at a restaurant and it was the loving bomb Nam Taf fucked around with this message at 09:04 on Aug 24, 2021 |

Makes sense. But yes, the chipper was loving filthy in general. I picked a random one and got unlucky I guess.

My take from TV is that it only takes like 30 seconds to cook a scallop so there's no reason I can't get a scallop whopper.

Fartington Butts posted:Because that poo poo would be $60 That's fine. They could make a scallop machine like they have a whopper machine. Drop frozen scallops on a conveyor belt and 30 seconds later, bing, flame broiled scallop. You could probably even make the machine squirt butter all over it.

I was high as heck, the guys behind the counter were arguing with each other, he was having what looked like a mental breakdown, the place was extremely unhygienic. I was pretty apathetic and just wanted food and didn't want to make the poor guys life even worse than it already was. Will never return though.

This is what a scallop SHOULD look like: They should taste like a cross between whitefish and shrimp. I think what you got was a 'scalloped potato', (to scallop something means to cut in an ovular shape) that was deepfried in old oil that was used for other seafood. It is also NOT what traditional 'scalloped potatoes', the dish, or casserole is, which is 'scalloped potatoes (the aforementioned cut into oval shaped slices) layered on another, which have bechemel sauce and ham and camembert cheese between the layers, which is then baked until golden brown. I would say, basically, you got straight dicked, op. ---------------- Big Beef City fucked around with this message at 20:28 on Sep 6, 2021 |

It has so many eyes. It can see you. It knows what you did. Your mere vertebrate existence disgusts the scallop. It wishes it had no eyes; that it could not see you ever again. Disgusting.

So far you have further convinced me to never eat actual scallops. Literally scooped up mystery shell meat with multiple blue eyes and probably shits out their mouth, dredged from the local sewage filled estuary.

Those don’t look very appetizing. I only know scalloped potatoes as a dish served with like, cream and cheese and stuff. I’ve literally never seen a preparation like that before. The actual seafood scallop can be tasty when it’s fresh, it’s got a very rich and buttery flavor. They’re exceptionally good wrapped in bacon or prosciutto. ----------------
