Reply to comment by RikersTrombone 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
Yeah setting aside the logistics of transporting something with a very short shelf life unless frozen to people who can't pay for it, you'd essentially be poisoning them. Theres a reason people don't eat those parts as the water is polluted and scallops are filter feeders so they'd absorb some of the pollutants.
