Nutritional values

Already the medieval pilgrims fortified themselves with the flesh of the shells named after St. James. This was certainly successful, as the noble sea animals are full of valuable proteins and the trace element iodine, which is so important for the thyroid gland function.

Ask the fishmonger to wrap the shells of the released scallops. They make a useful and attractive table decoration, for example as a container for spices or butter.
