I believe it is best to avoid eating lots of scallops, with saturated fats, as noted below:


Scallops and cholesterol

I once ate a pound of Digny (NS) scallops, that I dipped in flour and fried in butter. It was a big mistake - it felt like there was a brick in my stomach for a few hours.


IMO, Calico scallops (they are smaller and cheaper) are best to avoid. A friend of mine showed me a few under a microscope, they had many many microscopi, and hard to see transluucent worms in the meat - gross. I never ate them again.
