What do Scallops taste like?!


Question: What do Scallops taste like!?
My boyfriend is making scallops with pasta tonight for dinner!. I've never had them before and I'm afraid I won't like them!.

Whats the texture like!?

I like white fish, I do not like shrimp (feels too rubbery in my mouth) and I am "okay" with lobster!.

I'm afraid he's going to do all this hard work and I won't like them! Help!Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Scallops are one of my favorite foods on earth!!! I love them!.

They have a very delicate flavor but are somewhat rubbery -- if made improperly!. Is he searing them!?

Try them!. Sounds like you have a really nice boyfriend and you should be grateful he is so sweet!. Chew and swallow, and be happy!.
Be kind to him!.!.!.

But, it seems like he must know you aren't the best to be testing stuff on as you are picky about seafood!. So, it is kinda' his fault if he is making a person scallops who doesnt love seafood!.

I describe them like this:

"If rubber, jello, and fish had a threesome!."

They are delicious!!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Wow, what a great boyfriend, cooking such a lovely dinner for you and scallops too, they are my absolute favorite!!!!!!! I guess comparing them to your shellfish and fish you named above, here's what I could say about Scallops:
They are fork tender like white fish, delicate and buttery tasting like lobster, they have a subtle taste unlike Shrimp, they are soft in texture, so very smooth and you will know instantly whether you like them or not!. They cook quickly and soak up all of the flavor that you add to them!. I love the fact that you are so open to try them, I truly hope that you love them as much as I do! Kudo's to your boyfriend for picking such an upscale shellfish to cook for you, it sounds like to me he's still trying to impress you!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.you are so lucky! Enjoy your dinner!Www@FoodAQ@Com

The closest thing to the taste of scallops would be flounder!. They have a firmer texture though!.
In fact, many eating establishments of a more "dubious" nature, will use a cookie cutter to cut out circles of flounder and sell it as the more expensive scallops!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Put on your big girl panties and deal with it!.
If he cooks hog nuts!.be thankful he is nice enough to do it!.
Cut the scallops very small!.you can swallow them whole with a swig of tea or wine if you don't like them, but do not tell him you don't like them!.

You prob will like them though, they are awesome!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Scallops are a little chewy with a mild seafood flavor!. I like them very much, especially when made with butter, garlic and herbs!. They are not as rubbery and dense as shrimp!. I think it's great that he's preparing a nice dinner for you!. Try and enjoy it!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Bland,turkey-like flavor with a hint of the rubberiness!. A little butter or even a hint of garlic, and they're magic!. I envy you!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Scallops are firm and sweet!. They have a very mild flavor!. They will only be rubbery if they are overcooked!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
