Coral
Scallop coral is the orange roe attached to the adductor in roe-on scallops—richer and more marine than the white muscle. It colours sauces and adds a creamy iodine note. Sear gently with the meat or remove to whisk into butter sauces. Coral overcooks faster than the adductor; protect it from the hardest heat.
