Green scallops are delicious shellfish, which can be steamed, boiled, grilled, grilled, or cooked in a variety of ways. Green mussels taste delicious when eaten alone, accompanied by french fries or crusty bread or mixed with other seafood dishes. If you want to know how to cook green scallops, just follow these steps.
Step
Method 1 of 5: Preparing the Green Scallops
Step 1. Buy the freshest green mussels
Buy green mussels in trusted markets. You have to buy live green mussels; look at the shell that is still tightly closed. Discard green mussels that have opened their shells after bringing home or green mussels that have cracked shells. Remember, green scallops that don't open after cooking should be thrown away. This means the mussels are dead before you cook them.
Step 2. Wash the green scallops under cold running water
Scrub the shell to remove any seaweed, dirt, or other adhering particles. Wash the green mussels one by one, removing the fibers as much as possible.
Step 3. Pull the green clam fibers
To clean the fibers of each green scallop, pinch with your thumb and forefinger, swipe left and right and pull hard. Green scallops are harmless and edible, but they don't taste very good, so don't worry if you can't clean all the mussels. Some green mussels may have no fibers, so there is no need to worry if there are green mussels that do not have fibers. You can also use a knife to remove these fibers.
