The Pecten Maximus is a bivalve mollusk belonging to the scallop family. It is the most sought-after of all the species in this family for French cooking. What is its trade name?

The Saint-Jacques shell is easily identifiable by its enormous size in comparison to other Pecten species. In France, the shells are prepared by poaching them in white wine and then topping them with mushroom puree and a sauce created with the scallop liquid.
