I hope that's not true! By the looks of them, I'd say that it's impossible.

While checking them out, I nearly stuck my nose through the glass. The meat is very white, but not as translucent as a scallop. The texture is also something to see. The best way that I can explain it is like if you opened an old personal fan that was made out of cylindrical objects like cigarettes. (You know, the ones that open like a buck knife and that you would see in some famous French artist's portrait of a fat lady from the 1600's)
