Scallops are usually brightly colored, while oysters and abalone shells are gray.
Second, the release status is different.
Scallops are distributed all over the world, from intertidal zone to deep sea.
Oysters are widely distributed in China, and can be produced along the coast, especially at the junction of salt and fresh water.
Fish usually grow on the seabed with low water temperature, and their footprints are all over the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean and Indian Ocean.
Third, the value of medical care is different.
Scallop can strengthen the spleen and stomach, beautify and protect skin, and inhibit cancer and tumor. Scallops can effectively prevent cancer.
Oysters can lower cholesterol and improve sexual ability.
