immitation scalops

20+ years ago while on the York river fishing for spot I decided to keep one of those cow nose rays. I proceeded to cut into the wings and knew right away that those people that have said you can get "imitation" scallops from these knew nothing of which they spoke. You will have to see for yourself that the meat appears to be filled with worms, though they are probably only blood vessels. It is my understanding that the meat from sting rays is quite different. After the episode with the cow nose rays I am not willing to destroy the beast to find out. After all a scallop is a scallup, period.
