Far Eastern scallop festival “On the ridge”

Scallops are among the most valuable ingredients of the Far Eastern cuisine. Everything in a scallop except for its stomach and shell is edible: scallop’s meat (often called [pjatа́k] in Russian, which means “penny”) is pure protein, and the mantle contains a huge amount of minerals. The first gastronomic festival “On the ridge” is devoted to this key Far Eastern seafood. Dozens of restaurants in Vladivostok, Khabarovsk, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk and Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky participate in the festival. All participating restaurants serve fresh Far Eastern scallops right from an aquarium. The organizer of the festival is Zuma restaurant.
