1, different living environment:

Scallops like to live on the hard seabed of 10 ~ 30 meters. Generally, their feet like to attach to shells, reefs and other objects, which are more common in the northern coastal areas.

Oysters like to grow in shallow bays that are brackish and brackish, and are usually found at the intersection of sea and rivers.

2. Different nutrients:

Scallop is rich in vitamin E, cholesterol and calcium, among which the content of vitamin E is 1 1 times that of oyster, and the content of calcium is four times that of oyster.

Oysters are rich in zinc, selenium, potassium and other elements, of which zinc is 7 times that of scallops.

3, the practice is different:

Scallops are mostly used for steaming, making soup or cooking.

Oysters are mostly used for barbecue or frying.

Extended data:

Scallop: Scallop is only distributed in the northern coast of China, living in the sea below the low tide line, with relatively fast water flow, high salinity and clear water quality. Inhabits on the hard seabed with a water depth of 10 ~ 30 meters, and adheres to rocks, shells or gravel with sufficient silk.

Oyster: Generally, it is grown or cultured in the place where rivers and seas blend, and it is half salty and half light on the shallow sea in the inner bay. Due to the restriction of suitable growth conditions, its quantity is less than other varieties, so its economic price is generally higher.
