What's for dinner!

Simple enough story! We ordered carry out Chinese food tonight for dinner. My husband ordered his favorite, Happy Family, which includes shrimp, crab and scallops. I've always figured they used some sort of substitute for the scallops like they did the crab. However, when chewing one, I nearly broke a tooth, thought I was going to spit out a filling and instead, spit out a pearl. I didn't think that scallops could produce a pearl, however, based on a quick internet search, I was wrong. I have taken it's photo inside my wedding band to show its size.
