Because of its delicious taste, it is listed as one of the "eight treasures in the sea" and is known as "the best seafood". Nowadays, although it can be seen everywhere in supermarkets, scallops are still expensive, especially those with bulging bellies, light yellow color, dry and fragrant feel, fresh and delicious, and sweet taste.
Pay attention to the color of Yaozhu when purchasing. The surface is golden yellow, and the inside is golden yellow or slightly brown when it is broken, which is a sign of freshness; If there is a thin layer of white powder on the surface, it will air dry for a long time. This kind of yaozhu can be used to make soup, but the cooked taste is far less than fresh; Observe whether the surface is complete.
