What should not be eaten with scallops? 1How to clean scallopsThe patterns on the surface of scallops contain a lot of mud and sand. You can use a hard brush to scrub them clean under running water, and then soak them in light salt water to let them spit out all the mud and sand. After cleaning the scallops, pry open the shells or blanch them until the shells open automatically, then remove the black part (i.e. the internal organs) next to the scallops and discard them. The edible parts of the scallops are the white adductor muscles, the flaky red or white gonads and the skirts. The black digestive glands and gill structures are not edible. The digestive glands of scallops are equivalent to the offal of animals, which contain excreted waste, toxins, heavy metals or sediment. It is best to remove them before cooking to avoid contaminating other edible parts. If scallops with tightly closed shells do not open after being cooked for a long time, it means they are dead and are not recommended for consumption. 2How long does it take to cook scallops?After the water boils, it will be cooked in 3-4 minutes. However, scallops live in shallow waters and are easily attacked by parasites. For the sake of health, it is best to steam scallops for 5 minutes before eating to avoid parasitic diseases. Fresh scallop meat has normal color and luster, no odor, feels smooth to the touch, and has good elasticity. Stale scallop meat has faded color, sour taste, sticky feel, and poor elasticity. Be sure to choose fresh scallops to eat. 3What can't be eaten with scallops?Scallops are a very popular seafood. Many people order scallops and drink beer when they eat barbecue. However, scallops and beer cannot be eaten together. It may cause high uric acid and form stones. Scallops cannot be eaten with oranges. Oranges contain a lot of vitamin C. Long-term consumption may cause food poisoning. Most fruits and vegetables contain vitamin C, so try not to eat fresh fruits and vegetables after eating scallops. Many people may want to make a cup of strong tea to relieve the greasiness when they feel sick of eating seafood. However, you cannot drink tea before or after eating seafood, as it will cause the loss of nutrients in the scallops and irritate the stomach and intestines, causing adverse reactions such as vomiting or abdominal pain. |
