Very underappreciated animals, I deeply appreciate that you made this video. Sadly I don't think most of the public even view scallops as animals. My only criticism is that the description of the scallop life cycle could have been a bit more detailed and some pictures of the different larval stages would have been appreciated. Otherwise top notch work.
not sure what you mean by that first statement… are you meeting people who think they’re fungus or something? just because our relationship with something is a mainly as a food source doesn’t mean people don’t know what they are. i’ve met people who don’t know what they look like, but they’re all at, least aware that they’re a type of shell fish.
@@mkv2718 Exactly what you said. When I was a Child, I thought they are some kind of "Plant" or Coral, that Sticks to a Place, like Mushroom Spores and then Grows there for ever. I bet Grown Ups that have no interest in Nature think like that. "Ocean Mushroom". Back then, you also did not have Videos that show them Moving. Dude,some People do not know the differents between Man, Woman or Race. You Think they know THIS?
I'm am going to settle this right now. As I read the original comment, I thought to myself "scallops are animals?" And then I thought "yeah, I guess they would be, huh. What did I think they were prior to reading this?" But, I wasn't sure what I had previously thought. I guess I really just never gave it a thought. Then I read the other two comments and I thought to myself "Oh yeah, that's what I previously thought! I thought they were one of those things that made shells." And my last thoughts were "huh??? What really is a sand dollar other than good luck? I wonder if they move like a starfish does or if they just somehow reproduces, lands somewhere on the ocean floor, and then grows?" I promise that I am a reasonably intelligent person and I am well educated but clearly my first two paragraphs do not reflect that. However, I am willing to bet that the OP is right in that many people probably just don't give them a thought. I don't eat anything that lives in the water so that could account for some of my lack of thinking about them. I really am being serious throughout my comment and I am serious now. I have to go look up some information on sand dollars bc I'm the type of person that doesn't like to wonder about something. I want to know about it. I understand how my entire comment to this point would not pin me as a person that likes to absorb as much information as possible. Fair enough.
It’s so cool how they have eyes with pupils that contract and help them elude predators- very impressive when you consider they have no brain. Great vid. Keep up the awesome work !
The first popular books I'm aware of about foraging for wild foods were written by Euel Gibbons in the 1970's. One of his books was titled "Stalking the Blue-Eyed Scallop".
A brain is just composed of cells that are specialized in transmitting information, you are not just simply your brain, you are your entire body. Michael Levin for example has proved that not only brain cells are capable of holding memory and learning new things, he has shown that skin and muscle cells are capable of doing the same thing but at a smaller scale. Due to his research new theories are reaffirming what was already believed, that memories can be held within organs such as your heart, lungs, gut, and even your skin. So although these species do not have brains, so to speak, it isn't really required because they aren't required to do a lot of complex activities, so you don't need those specialized cells. All the other cells can do the job just fine.
The eyes had me. I can’t eat scallops anymore. I’m finding it harder and harder to eat anything that has a face. Great job on your video by the way. Your presentation value is top notch.
Scallops is my favorite seafood. Next up, king crab legs. Yummy. Our oceans provide an abundance of treasures. We need to take care of it at all costs. Don’t pollute, don’t overfish.
How fascinating, I do eat them once in awhile but no more. After watching this video I don ´t know if I will ever have adductor muscles in garlic sauce again ….
I'd feel less bad about it if it was most of the animal, but I dislike seeing so much of it just being thrown out. Good for local scavenging fish I guess. Hopefully they get it, and not the extreme over populated seagulls.
Omg I feel awful I’ve been a vegetarian since 9 years old and I have been eating scallops because I heard they had no nervous system but they’re so cute 😭
I love animals but I also understand that animals eat animals and we are animals ourselves. There’s no shame in doing what predatory animals do best. Eat other animals. Would you deny your dog meat if it wasn’t already processed for him? Then why deny yourself the same right.
@@DrawinskyMoon because we have evolved to the point to not NEED to rely on eating meat and to experience complex emotions like empathy. If you eat animals you don’t love them anywhere near as much as you think you do
If you sized up a scallop to the size of a horse, it’d look like a monster out of Lovecraft. Moving shells with tons of muscle, 200 staring blue eyes, waving tendrils. Just insane. Such a cool species
Yeah it's insane that many people don't know that scallops can actually swim, so when SpongeBob said "The scallops are chirping" in the bubble stand episode, he actually wasn't that far off. Plus Hillenberg was a marine biologist.
This is an excellent video, thank you for sharing. One word of advice I would recommend using a de-esser plug-in to eliminate sibilance as the “S” whistles were quite heavy on the ears! 😅 Thanks again for sharing!
I am not a vegetarian, with that said I limit types of meat I eat. And how often. I love scallops but I saw a similar video and found myself unable to eat them again. I felt a connection to them somehow. Funny I know but true.
In deeper waters of the California coast you can find rock scallops which attach themselves permanently to rocky structures. The portion attached to the rock is flatter than the opposite side. These rock scallops can get rather large with abductor muscle being very large. I used to dive for them at a depth of 90 feet. Many divers enjoy them raw.
Would you know the rain and purpose for the US only allowing the muscle to be eaten? I’m not saying I’d even eat the remainder, but am curious at the reasoning.
Is sad how the US is so wasteful of the rest of the scallop especially when clams and oysters are eaten whole and sometimes raw. Makes no sense. Great video mahalo for sharing
yes, indeed. a good example of how over regulation can be a problem. what would even be the point of a law like that? i mean, if people are allowed to eat puffer fish, which have a chance to kill you if prepared improperly, why stop people from eating the whole scallop? hopefully the rest can at least be used for bait/chum. it would be terribly wasteful if it just needed to be discarded
Also being blue-eyed, i can tell you that eyes evolved many, many times in the last 1/2 billion years. We mostly know of three, vertebrates, molluscs, insects. It remains possible that escaping scallops are not taking threats seriously, as they wink often when squirting away.
@@saintessa Like I wrote, clean and tasty. A slightly unique flavor, like shrimp, but not as profound; almost devoid of taste. A striated texture adductor muscle that peels in strips. Costs $15.99 for a 12oz bag at my store, which provides two meals, a rather cost-prohibitive expense as a rule. Not to worry about not liking seafood. My wife doesn't either, and assures me full lives can be lived while never having eaten any.
A Natural History of Shells, Vermeij, Geerat J. 2021 is an excellent books to learn about diverse topics involving shells and valves, their formaton included
I like to think that their eyes cause some kind of cosmic horror. Like, they see all those individual frames and it drives them insane trying to take it all in. Thats how i like to think their eyes work.
Now every time some moron on Hell's Kitchen blows an entree of scallops I'm gonna be real pissed that these beautiful creatures gave their lives for nothing.
@@gmod3409 When an animal has more than maybe 10 eggs at time, it means at least 75-99 % of them get eaten by predators before becoming adults and reproducing. It’s also why animals like sharks and humans and others have mostly one baby at a time. More eggs does not mean it’s harder to make them extinct.
A scallop is a animal, just like the others you've cited. As the video says, the most common part of the animal eaten is the addutor muscle, that is extremely well-developed in those animals. You may be refering to the muscle fibers connected to the valve.
*The flame scallops shown in this video are not considered to be "true scallops". However, they have very similar characteristics.

I had a pet scallop in a saltwater tank, the little blue eyes looked like a string of tiny lights or jewels around the edges of its shells.

Any pictures/videos?

All the better to see danger with.
We ALL did, from age 8 or so.
