The Sun and Moon Scallop, a bivalve mollusk with a unique and striking appearance, is characterized by its two shells: one flat and round like the sun, and the other deeply cupped like the moon. This distinctive feature not only gives the scallop its name but also provides it with exceptional camouflage in its sandy or muddy seabed habitat. Sun and Moon Scallops are prized for their sweet, tender meat, which is often enjoyed raw as sashimi or cooked through various methods such as grilling, pan-frying, or baking.
