How to Shuck Long Island Bay Scallops

http://www.loving-long-island.com/bay-scallops.html
Although the entire scallop is edible most people only eat the muscle that holds the shell closed. To remove as much of that muscle as possible try to get the knife to scrape the top of the shell as you open the scallop. The typical Long Island bay scallop yields a meat about the height and diameter of a stack of 8 nickels. Some larger, some smaller, but that's about average.

I love raw oysters, but I normally pan fry scallops in butter. I think Ill try them raw next time, they look pretty tasty

this should be how NOT to shuck a scallop he is butchering the eye.....and u use a shucking knife not a butter knife ...smh

@momma2708 This video is intended for the average Joe who finds himself with a few whole scallops and doesn't know what to do with them. The knife should not be dull, but doesn't have to be real sharp either. As you can see in the video my butter knife removes the meat from the shell without butchering it.
