I believe that to be an old wives tale or urban legend.

I have eaten Ray and Shark. Scallops don’t taste or even resemble anything like them.

There was a video somewhere on the net where a guy was actually trying to make ‘scallops’ out of a stingray. Didn’t work out too well. The work itself would be discouraging to any would-be con man..................

There are disreputable seafood restaurants who pass off something that is definitely not scallops, as scallops. Can we at least agree to that? I know it’s so, I’ve had it happen to me before.

More commonly, they use *skate*, which is a type of ray. You can tell the difference, buy looking at them.
