About
The sea scallop is a large Atlantic bivalve whose shucked meat packs closely into standard kitchen measures.
Shucked sea scallop meat has a bulk density of about 56 pounds per cubic foot (0.9 g/mL). Because the rounded muscle meats leave small empty pockets between them when scooped into a container, they take up slightly more space than solid muscle tissue. This packing density is very close to other prepared seafoods like peeled raw shrimp or diced fish fillets. A standard 1-pound (454 g) batch fills roughly 2.1 US cups (504 mL) of volume.
