Well......

So you didn't actually see the shell. We used to sell lots of different things to the tourists even in Florida that weren't scallops but that they thought were scallops. Most landlubbers and snowbirds never know the difference.

Here what they call callo de hacha and sell as scallops are what we know in Florida and the Caribbean as Angel's Wings. Not the same shellfish at all.

Yes they were there live in the shell, and we ate them from the shell in oyster fashion. The shell was longer than round and 2-3 inches in depth. They were yummy.....but have not seen them anywhere else.
