Scallops are one of my favorite foods but I've almost entirely stopped eating them. Only like once or twice a year now. They have too many eyes to not be at least reasonably sentient imo. Good king oyster mushrooms cut into rounds have almost the same texture and weirdly close enough flavor, cooked exactly the same way. They make an amazing substitute plus less likely to obliterate the ecosystem.

Lions mane mushrooms can have a similar texture and flavor when pan fried. It isn't identical but it's pretty damn good.

Ooh I fucking love lions mane. I use them as a chicken replacement in street tacos, or for pulled pork sandos, so good
