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.
The flesh of a stingray's or skate's wing has a delicate but noticeable hint of shellfish flavor, stronger in the skate than the ray. The wing won't serve as a direct substitute for scallops, which have a much more assertive flavor, but the meat is tasty when prepared in the same ways.
