Thescallop is asea creature in theAnimal Crossing series that first appears inAnimal Crossing: New Leaf. In previous games in theAnimal Crossing series, scallops are found asshells. When the player finds a scallop in the town,Pascal may rise to the surface and ask the player if he can have it. If the player chooses to give it to him, he rewards the player themed furniture in return.

While initially absent fromAnimal Crossing: New Horizons, scallops were added in the 1.3.0Free Summer Update in July 2020, where it appears all day long as a medium-sized, slow shadow year-round. If the player catches a scallop, Pascal may rise to the surface and ask the player if he can have it. If the player agrees, he will reward the player with aDIY recipe for a random item in theMermaid Series or apearl.

Donating to the museum[edit]

InNew Leaf[edit]

Upon being donated to themuseum, it can be found jumping around in the large tank in the first room of the sea exhibit. The exhibit says this about the scallop:

"Scallops inhabit the cool ocean bed. They swim by rapidly clapping together their shell valves. The black dots on scallops, known as wavy "strings", are actually their eyes. These eyes number over 80 but only really function as a means to sense light rather than motion. Often grilled or buttered, scallops have become a tasty seafood enjoyed all over the world."

InNew Horizons[edit]

When donating to the museum,Blathers will say the following:

"Ah, thescallop! It just goes to show, you can't keep a good bivalve down. While most members of its family are known for staying put, thescallop is a nimble fellow indeed. When a hungrysea star approaches, thescallop can swim away by clap-clap-clapping its shells together! "How does ascallop know when a predator approaches?" you ask. Why, it has 200 eyes to see with! It makes one wonder what else thescallop sees with all those eyes...I fear it sees into my very soul!"

Once donated, the scallop can be found in the icy water tank, alongside thesea butterfly.

Fishing Tourney[edit]

InNew Leaf[edit]

During aFishing Tourney, when given a scallop,Chip will not score the sea creature but will say the following:

"You know, scallops make for great sashimi, or maybe tempura...or fried or sautéed... Tasty! I'm perfectly happy to just swallow them whole, of course! YUM!"
