How to identify the freshness of scallops at the seafood market?

Now, there are two types of scallops on the market, one is live scallops in shells, and the other is chilled scallop meat. Regarding these two types of scallops, today I will tell you how to choose fresher scallops. I hope everyone can learn how to choose scallops. \x0d\ 1. How to select live scallops \x0d\ When choosing live scallops, you should first choose scallops with a relatively consistent and shiny shell color and uniform size. Do not choose too small ones, otherwise they will have little edible value due to less meat. . Then check whether the shell is open. Live scallops will close under the influence of external force. Those that are tightly closed are generally live scallops, let alone those with open shells that tighten immediately when touched with your hand. \x0d\　And the shell is very open, and if it doesn’t respond when touched by hand, it is naturally dead and cannot be used. When choosing scallops, be sure to choose live ones. It is best to look for slightly cleaner ones, which will be more convenient during subsequent processing. \x0d\ In addition, scallops on the market are generally sold individually, with larger ones being slightly more expensive, with most prices around 4 yuan/piece. Scallops are not divided into varieties, but some places sell a kind of "king scallop", which is more expensive than ordinary scallops, and the meat is much thicker and tastes better. \x0d\ 2. How to select chilled scallops \x0d\ When choosing chilled scallops, you must first check whether their appearance is white, and then look at the yield of pure scallop meat after thawing, the size and uniformity of the particles, and the minced scallops. The quantity and freshness will determine whether to use it. Generally, chilled scallops with a yield rate of about 70%, white color, large and plump particles, high freshness, no broken bits, or no more than 10 broken bits per 500 grams are qualified products.
