Scallops in Casa Santoña's scallop sauce

Scallops, like scallops, are a bivalve mollusk from the Pectinidae family. They live both freely and on the coast attached by the byssus to stones, rocks, shell remnants or large algae. They inhabit depths of up to 100 meters. Now, scallops in scallop sauce are available to buy in our online store, as well as other gourmet preserves.

Characteristics of Scallops:

The shell is solid and oval in shape, except in the area of the ears. Their valves are convex and equal although the upper one is slightly more bulging. The outer surface is sculpted by 25-35 prominent ribs, provided with spines or eroded lamellae that are more developed near the edges. The growth lines are generally clear. The ears also have ribs and strong folds between the bisal groove and the top of the shell. The front ears are two or three times longer than the back ones. The color is very variable: white, blond, pinkish-orange, yellow, dark green, brown or purple, sometimes with irregular patterns and shadows.
