I heard that they were cutting "scallops" out of manta ray and serving it some places.
 
Can't believe this is happening! :-( Am off to the Maldives again in four weeks and will see what I can find out about it. The Maldives are very dependant upon tourism as it is their main source of income - any negative publicity will help I'm sure, so please sign everyone - it will just take a minute!

Yep. I've heard the same about "scallops" cut out of shark fin. Kind of hard to understand why anyone would do this, as scallops aren't as expensive as shark fin by a large margin. In fact, I don't know of any reliable reports of this anywhere ever.
