The Atlantic spiny oysters are on the deeper wrecks around here and taken dead shells for decorations and to give friends in the past.
I was looking for info if they are edible? Read somewhere that they are related to scallops more than oysters and is there a muscle like scallops or are they oyster like?
Originally for N.E. and went a couple times a year to the Salem area for scallops and was hoping that spiny oysters might be something to try.

The easiest way to get them is to get your kinfe in them before they close up, then cut the adductor muscle right next to on side of the shell. Then while you hold the shell mostly shut against your knife cut the second adductor muscle. When you open the shell andd grab the meat to eat it the race starts to see who gets the most of it. You or the cloud of fish that materializes out of nowhere!
