| Re: how do u tell the difference in these thing Scallop, Taste really good, and adsorbe the flaver of the sauce... LOL! Scalops Shells symetrical, hinged like a book (kinda sorta) hinged on the end of the shell. Oystre, Shells asymetrical (for the most part one bigger then the other) cant really see the hinge. Just opens. Clams are mostly symentrial/ovoid on the end view. Expand/close like accordian, and are hinged/off set. I think....
