Are scallops vegetarian or animal?

an old friend of mine told me scallops were vegetarian. my husband says they are not. which is true?

 

Scallops are mollusks, kind of like an oyster or clam is a mollusk.... definately not vegetarian.

 

Scallops are vy high in cholesterol

 

scallops are animals

 

they are alive there an animal- a sea creature to be exact

 

i thought so. i do not talk to my old friend any more but i can imagine she does eat them. she is a practicing vegan so i assume she'll find out soon if she has not already.

 

Yes. Definately scallops are NOT veggie.

 

scallops are animal. but for some reason, non vegan veggies only consider red meat offensive. does eating an animal offend you? you decide for yourself whether it is ok to eat shelfish. dont let any of these other people tell you what to think.

 

Heifer whines could be human cries
Closer comes the screaming knife
This beautiful creature must die
This beautiful creature must die
A death for no reason
And death for no reason is murder

And the flesh you so fancifully fry
Is not succulent, tasty or kind
Its death for no reason
And death for no reason is murder

And the calf that you carve with a smile
Is murder
And the turkey you festively slice
Is murder
Do you know how animals die ?

Kitchen aromas arent very homely
Its not comforting, cheery or kind
Its sizzling blood and the unholy stench
Of murder

Its not natural, normal or kind
The flesh you so fancifully fry
The meat in your mouth
As you savour the flavour
Of murder

No, no, no, its murder
No, no, no, its murder
Oh ... and who hears when animals cry ?

 

hmmm not a scallop mentioned in that post.
are you advocating the thought that if an animal doesnt scream, it ceases to be meat?

for the record, my least favorite Morrisey song.

 

"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.

Scallops may be attached to a substrate by a structure called a byssus, or cemented to their substrate (e.g. Hinnites spp.). They can also be free living. A scallop can swim by rapidly opening and closing its shell. This method of rapidly opening and closing its shell is also a defense technique, protecting it from threats. There is an audible whistling sound upon propulsion that the scallops make."

Scallops do scream.

 

Have you ever heard a scallop cry?
