Shell On
Shell-on scallops arrive live or fresh in the shell—ideal for roasting on the half-shell and for diners who want the full liquor. Shells should be heavy and tightly closed if live. Open with a knife, leave on the cupped shell, and grill or roast with butter and herbs. Serve immediately so the liquor stays in the shell.
