Calamari and scallops are not "white fish".
Scallops are bottom feeders and should actually be avoided.
Calamari being octopus, eat scallops, lobster and crab, all of which are bottom feeders, which means that calamari is comprised of bottom feeder meat and should be avoided.

@swirlie calamari is a squid

That is correct, but octopus and squid are of the same family, meaning they are one in the same, one being significantly larger than the other. Squid are typically eaten whereas octopus are typically not eaten or caught commercially.

@swirlie No they aren't. They're the same class, cephalopoda

That's what I said, they're the same family or class as you put it.

@swirlie Family and class are two very different things, a family is a more specifically defined taxonomic category of life than a class. This is also to say nothing of how great the distinction between a squid and an octopus really is. To give you an example of how different, mammalia is a class like cephalopoda but I don't think you'd ever say a human is the same "family" as a rat
