Scallops are a type (or, depending on the usage, a related type) of bivalve marine mollusc. Scallops have a distinctively shaped shell, which has been collected for many years, as well as being a used as a symbol for many things, and the name itself is also used to refer to a wavy pattern similar to that of the edge of the shell.
Scallops are a popular food dish, with both wild and cultured scallops being eaten, the latter especially as the populations of wild scallops has declined. The scallop comprises of a large, white, meaty part, called the scallop, and a small, softer red or white part, known as the roe. In the US, frequently only the scallop is sold; in the UK and Australia, in particular, the shellfish can be bought consisting of both the roe (which is edible) and the main part of the scallop.
When baking scallops, the shellfish is frequently covered in crumbs of some type.
