Only a certain percentage of them. The other percent is stingray IIRC. I learned that in Bio class. If the mucles fibers are running up and down its a real scalop it ifs running the other direction then its stingray.
I have never EVER tried to pass off stingray for scallops... That's wrong and deceptive. However, I did work for a chef once who passed rabbit off for chicken (jerk chicken salad). We ran rabbit as an easter sunday special and, needless to say, we sold none. We had all this rabbit left over so he made jerk chicken salad.
Bruce was the most creative chef I ever worked with and speaking of scallops... I'm getting my rear end kicked on the line one night and he walks off line. He starts chopping chocolate and puts in a double boiler. He begins to dip scallops in the chocolate. This is Saturday night! And he's making chocolate covered scallops...
Whoops, got off subject...
Killing stingrays for no apparent reason is bad.
