The volandeira is a Galician seafood that is often confused many times with the scallop, as they are very similar in both quality and shape. The shell color of the volandeira is more reddish and orangish tones than the dark ones of the scallop. Another difference is found in its shell, much more rounded compared to the scallop; also, the latter has a single "ear" instead of the Galician volandeira which has 2. The volandeira is the only seafood that is caught by trawling methods by boats from the Cambados fish market as they are buried along with scallops in muddy bottoms and can only be extracted in this way. We can find fresh Galician volandeira during certain months of the year when the toxin level is zero, the rest of the year we can find it eviscerated and frozen. In each kilo of Galician volandeira, 25-35 pieces are included.
