Did you know?

Scallops can swim by clapping their shells together—yes, really!
The muscle we eat is called the “adductor muscle,” the part that opens and closes the shell.
There are over 400 species of scallops, but only a few are commercially fished.
They have up to 200 tiny blue eyes along the edge of their shell that help detect motion and light.
Scallops are often considered one of the cleanest, lowest-mercury seafoods.
