Food of the Day: Pearl Meat

I had actually never heard of Pearl Meat before entering this wonderful restaurant called La Beach yesterday. I understand that for many people in many countries, Pearl Meat is a delicacy. Much different than traditional edible oysters that are farmed around the world, Pearl Meat is a firmer flesh that is actually the muscle of the oyster that allows it to close its shell. As explained by the Owner of the place before it arrived on my table, it is a subtle mix between scallops and abalone. Let me tell you that I really really enjoyed it. And sorry about the blurry picture but I was concentrating more on my food than in taking a picture.
