Are scallops vegetarian?!


Question:

Are scallops vegetarian?


Answers:
Is your question whether scallops are vegetarian? If so: Scallops are mollusks and they eat plankton which may either be plants or animals. So they are not vegetarian.

Is your question whether scallops are vegetarian food? No also, they are seafood. Scallops are the family Pectinidae of bivalve molluscs. Like the true oysters (family Ostreidae), they have a central adductor muscle, and thus their shells have a characteristic central scar marking its point of attachment. However, the adductor muscle of scallops is larger and more developed than that of oysters because they are active swimmers and the sole migratory bivalve. Their shell shape tends to be highly regular, recalling the archetypal form of a seashell.

If you're a vegetarian that eats fish and seafood, then yes. Technically it's meat, though, so the the real 'vegetarian' way, no.

Not if your vegan, they are fish.

erm...i doubt so...scallop is under seafood and its a living thing...
but there's also vegetarian scallops...the orange breaded coating one...that's mock scallop...maybe you can have that instead

Scallops are animals. Vegetarians do not eat animals.
