A symbol of fertility in ancient western mythology, hotate (scallops) are most delicious when harvested in January. The winter is their breeding season, when their meat becomes especially thick and tasty. It takes about 3 to 4 years for hotate to become ready for harvesting (12cm in diameter). A popular sushi, there is nothing more delicious than hotate sashimi when fresh. Hotate is also excellent when grilled, sauteed or added to salads and soups. At certain fish markets, you can also order hotate grilled in butter, with a bit of lemon and soy sauce. It's absolutely scrumptious! High in protein, low in calories and rich in vitamins and minerals, hotate are excellent for your health and strengthen the muscles.
