What's "the cup side of the shells rather than on the flat side"?
Kindly see the emboldened sentence below. With a picture, can you please elaborate which are "the cup side" and "the flat side"? >## roasted scallops with thyme and coral butter >SERVES 2 TO START >Preheat the oven to 230ºC/450ºF/gas mark 8. Remove the roes from 6 scallops in the cup shell and take off the white muscle and any black bits. Place the roes in a food processor with 150 g/ 5½ oz/¾ cup softened butter and 1 finely chopped garlic clove. Blitz together, then stir in1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves. Place a spoonful on each scallop, add 1 tbsp dry white wine, then sprinkle a thin layer of fine fresh breadcrumbs over each shell and bake for 6 minutes, until crisp and golden. Season with sea salt. >### AT THE FISHMONGER Ask the fishmonger to **open the scallops on the cup side of the shells rather than on the flat side**. If they have already been opened on the flat side, ask for 6 cup shells, so that you can transfer the scallop meat to them.
