scallops are a separate species (shellfish). but You can simulate scallops from stingray, or shark, or even skates (relatives of stingrays). All of these fish are naturally boneless and provide A LOT of clean, white fillets. Stingray, shark or skate fillets must be well drained of blood (usually at the time of capture), skinned, and trimmed of any cartilage.
If using wet scallops, soak them in a solution of 1 quart cold water, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons salt for 30 minutes before proceeding with step 1, and do not season with salt in step 2. To remove the tendons from the scallops, simply peel away the small, rough textured crescent-shaped tendon and discard.
