Reply to comment by ouyin2000 in TIL with Scallops, only the abductor muscle is eaten by humans. The rest of the meat, which is edible, may contain a buildup of toxins, and is discarded at sea. by testhec10ck
If it’s not exposed to toxins, than it’s safe to eat, but scallops travel, so there’s no way to tell if they were in contaminated waters. Farm raised scallops don’t have the same issue, since we know what water they were in, and theoretically you could eat the whole scallop (less the shell)
