When cooking scallops should the orange part be removed?
Some puritans say that you should remove the coral. But others say it is a delicacy. I am of the second school of thought. But, depending on how you choose to cook the scallops, it is best to remove the coral and cook the actual scallop first, adding the corals in the last minute, as they cook more quickly than the scallop itself. Do try it, because they are delicious, with a more delicate flavour and texture than the scallop. YUM!! TO that other person, the “orange bit” is called the coral. It is not ROE.
