In Australian English, a sea scallop typically refers to the edible meat of a large scallop — often served battered and fried at fish and chip shops. The term can also refer to the whole shellfish. In other English dialects, 'sea scallop' distinguishes the large Atlantic scallop from the smaller bay scallop.
She ordered a paper of sea scallops from the fish and chip shop, eating them on the beach.
