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.
Stingrays do this by agitating the sand and hiding beneath it. Because their eyes are on top of their bodies and their mouths on the undersides, stingrays cannot see their prey; instead, they use smell and electroreceptors (ampullae of Lorenzini) similar to those of sharks.
