How to Clean Whole Scallops

One of the ocean's greatest gifts is the whole sea scallop. Did you know that when you purchase scallops at the grocery store, you are only enjoying the sweet, white adductor muscle? The name "scallop" is derived from the French word escalope, which means, "shell." In other words, we should be enjoying scallops as nature intended - on the shell! If you've never feasted on whole sea scallops, you have missed out on their delicious, edible "mantle" and "roe." Chef Charles Draghi of Erbaluce will teach you how to open the shell, clean the belly and gills, and enjoy it in its most natural form.

He’s lying those are dead scallops. They’re probably rancid at this point.
