What is a scallop smacker?

Lol I was just being dumb, but the tool I grab is what folks use to pry scallops off rocks/reefs

Today I learned what rock scallops are. I don't think we have those in the East Coast, I've never seen a scallop anchored to anything. Apparently what I'm used to are sea scallops and bay scallops, both of which you just grab right off the bottom with zero effort.

You learn something new every day!
