Quick Answer. Scallops are not made from stingrays. A stingray is an ancient type of fish with a cartilage skeleton. A scallop is a type of marine mollusk.
It seems that there've been lots of questions recently about what you can/can't spear or can/can't eat. I have my own after hearing lots of stories about this: Can you eat stingray? I've heard they taste like scallops, they taste like leather, they taste like sh*t (you know what sh*t tastes like? NO) the whole nine yards.
