Guide to scallop purchase and matters needing attention:

Some people like to eat scallops, but they don't necessarily choose them. Most scallops are imported products. When purchasing, you should pay attention to:

1, the color is bright yellow, it can't turn black or white, and it has a strong umami flavor with hoarfrost.

2, the shape is as complete as possible, short cylindrical, solid and full, and the meat is dry and hard.

3, don't have incomplete cracks. The high-quality and fresh scallops are pale yellow and the size of a child's fingers. Small particles are the second, and those with black color are the second. The longer scallops are kept, the worse. The scallops with good quality are dry, with complete particles, uniform size, yellowish color and slight luster.

4. Dry scallops should be soaked in warm water before cooking, or steamed with a small amount of water and yellow wine, ginger and onion to soften them, and then cooked into dishes.
