Are they any wetter than other bivalves such as oysters, clams,
or mussels?

The time I've had fresh scallops in the shell, they were pretty
much like mussels. But with a larger adductor muscle relative
to the main body of the animal.

(I do not know if this means they can snap extra hard, or
whatever...)
