About Scallop :

A scallop (/ˈskɒləp/ or /ˈskæləp/; from Old French escalope, meaning "shell") is a common name applied to many species of marine bi valve mollusks in the family Pectinidae, the scallops. Scallops are a cosmopolitan family, found in all of the world's oceans.
Many scallops are highly prized as a food source; the name "scallop" is also applied to the meat of these animals when it is used asseafood. The brightly colored, fan-shaped shells of some scallops, with their radiating, fluted patterns, are valued by shell collectors, and have been used since ancient times as motifs in art and design.
