Guest guest Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Your question about nutrition value differences between bay & raw scallops piqued my curiosity. So far, haven't discovered any specifics that measure unit by unit, differences, BUT, have been encountering information that leads me to believe that " bay " scallops are often not true Atlantic-water bay scallops, but instead, Calico scallops. Here's an example of what I'm seeing: * Because much of the population of bay scallops were killed off by toxic algae in the 1980s these are much more difficult to find and are quite expensive. As a result, many of the bay scallops available are actually calico scallops harvested in the warmer southern waters of Florida and the Gulf of Mexico. Many of scallops sold on the west coast as bay scallops are calicos but they are a different breed from bay or sea scallops. They are slightly smaller and not as sweet or as tender as Atlantic bay scallops*. http://www.drgourmet.com/ingredients/bayscallops.shtml Sharon -- Give me the liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely according to conscience, above all liberties. - Milton, Areopagitica Deut 11:15 He will put grass in the fields for your cattle, and you will have plenty to eat.
