Playing fast and lose with the term ‘edible’, no?

If the scallop has not exposed to toxins, than it’s safe to eat the rest of the meat, 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)

Miriam-Webster definition of
Edibile: 1. something that is suitable or safe to eat : something edible

Yes, let’s assume 98% are edible (no toxins). For about 2%, there may be a build up of toxins. But since there’s no cost effective way to track or trace, so we toss everything, including the edible ones.

Many dishes use whole scallops in asian countries. Its pretty good.

You can eat it, puts it in mouth.
However, it might be toxic, spits it out.

I’d rather choose a dish that I don’t have to spit out on my plate sometimes. Also, do you detect the toxins in your mouth or hours later when you’re balled up on the bathroom floor?
