Comment on The Scallop Sees with Hundreds of Eyes

Comments

The hero image doesn't do it justice.

I recommend image-searching "scallop eyes": https://www.google.com.mx/search?q=scallop+eyes&tbm=isch

A beautiful beast.

I also enjoyed the morbidity of the article pointing out how much we have to learn from these creatures yet also how we sear them in butter.

If you can get them live, you need neither butter or searing. Just a quick cut with a scallop knife. :)

When diving for them, they definitely see me and will close tight. But unlike as the article mentions, I’ve never seen them propel themselves away. I have however seen trails in the sand of where they’ve come from. The impression I have is they move slowly to better position themselves to capture food.
