It's actually fairly common practice for restaurants to use shark or stingray cut into the shape of scallops, because it's cheaper and they can charge the same without most customers knowing the difference. A way to know the difference is to look closely at the scallop. If the muscle strands run strictly vertical, it's a real scallop. If the muscle strands are wavy/disorganized you are likely eating stingray, and sometimes shark.

Sadly it is scallops, I was hoping scallop would be a lobster but I was giving scallops.

Pappadeaux is the real deal. Fresh seafood flown in daily. Since scallops are an animal, each individual scallop is not shaped exactly the same—they are slightly different in size, and won't be perfect cylinders. Fake scallops, however, will look identical to each other as they were made using something like a round cookie cutter. The texture of the scallop should also be a good indicator as there are distinct grains in real scallops, where it looks like the piece would just fall apart if "sliced" with a fork.
