Is it really edible if it's toxic?

Yes. You can eat almost anything smaller than your oesophagus and/or softer than your teeth.

Even I'm edible, but that, dear children, is cannibalism, and is in fact frowned upon in most societies. Yeah.

If you are dehydrated enough, people will choke on things otherwise of edible size, so technically it would be more correct if you started your statement with the caveat "If adequately hydrated you can eat almost dot dot dot.

What you are capable of eating and what is ‘edible’ are two different things.

No. Edibility pertains to “fitness or suitability to be eaten.”
Poisonous foods aren’t “edible” because we’re not fit/suited to eat them.

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)
