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.
To prepare the scallops for cooking, pat them dry and cut off the small side muscle, if present. This muscle will get chewy no matter what, so itâs best to just get rid of it. You can cook either the small (1/2â³) bay scallops or the larger (1â³-1 and 1/2â³) sea scallops by any of the following methods, except where noted.
