what are scallops made from
Conpoy or dried scallop is a type of dried seafood product made from the adductor muscle of scallops.The smell of conpoy is marine, pungent, and reminiscent of certain salt-cured meats. Its taste is rich in umami due to its high content of various free amino acids, such as glycine, alanine, and glutamic acid.n Hong Kong, conpoy from two types of scallops are common. Conpoy made from kongyiu (æ±ç§) from mainland China is small and milder in taste. Patinopecten yessoensis or sinpui (æè²), a sea scallop imported from Japan (hotategai, å¸ç«è² in Japanese), produces a conpoy that is stronger and richer in taste.
