Meat

Scallop meat is the white adductor muscle—sweet, dense, and the global default scallop product. Dry-packed meat browns; wet-packed meat sheds milky liquid and steams. Pat very dry, sear in a hot pan without moving until a crust forms, then flip briefly. Season simply with salt and a finishing fat or acid.
