No, riblets and short ribs are two different cuts of meat. Short ribs are the continuation of the baby back rib section as it extends into the shoulder. While riblets are the trimmings off a rack of ribs or what you get when you cut a slab of ribs in half and then portion those halves further into individual pieces. Short ribs have a meat to bone ratio more than twice of regular ribs. While riblets have a meat to bone ratio of about half of regular ribs.
