Wait until the scallop turns golden before you can take it off the grill. If left for too long, it will dry out and become unpalatable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grilled horn scallop can be dipped in chao sauce and eaten with basil, fish mint, lettuce, green banana, etc. The flavor will be even more delicious and attractive. The pieces of horn scallop are delicious, crispy, and sweet, mixed with the spicy, salty chili salt flavor that makes you unable to stop enjoying it.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_46255\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-46255\" class=\"size-full wp-image-46255\" src=\"https:\/\/rootytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/horn-scallop-3.jpg\" alt=\"horn scallop\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rootytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/horn-scallop-3.jpg 800w, https:\/\/rootytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/horn-scallop-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rootytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/horn-scallop-3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rootytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/horn-scallop-3-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-46255\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Horn scallop is grilled on a charcoal stove<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Some_restaurants_selling_delicious_horn_scallop_in_Phu_Quoc\"><\/span><b>Some restaurants selling delicious horn scallop in Phu Quoc<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To fully enjoy the delicious dishes made from horn scallop or other seafood in Phu Quoc, Rooty Trip would like to introduce you to the following three famous seafood restaurants:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Huong_Bien_Restaurant\"><\/span><b>Huong Bien Restaurant<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Located right on the beach, the restaurant provides an ideal space for you to enjoy food and share peaceful moments with friends and family.
