Scallops are fatty and warm and plumb. I've neve in my entire life had a scallop that was gritty or chalky.
I would vomit.
I am glad you've never had a chalky scallop. It tends to happen when they are overcooked.
The best way to ensure your scallops are grit free is to buy diver scallops—which are also more environmentally friendly. Most sea scallops are fished by dragging heavy nets across the ocean floor—and in the process, the scallop can pick up bits of the sand. Diver scallops are actually harvested by hand (thus the name).
