Wikipedia: Scallop
Scallop (/ˈskɒləp, ˈskæləp/) is a common name that is primarily applied to any one of numerous species of saltwater clams or marine bivalve mollusks in the taxonomic family Pectinidae, the scallops. However, the common name “scallop” is also sometimes applied to species in other closely related families within the superfamily Pectinoidea, which also includes the thorny oysters.

Just dubbed scallops the “savory marshmallow of the sea.” If anyone is looking into selling scallops, let’s get together. I’m full of ideas.
