The Unique Qualities of the ABS
The Atlantic Bay Scallop has a couple interesting features like how it has 18 beautiful blue eyes all around the edge of the shell.
Also the adult scallop can swim across the ocean bottom by using their large adductor muscle (the part you eat) that allows them to open and close its shells quickly and strongly, referred to as "clapping". This clapping action propels the animal through the water, as water jets out between the shells; an effective method for escaping from predators like crabs and starfish.
