If you fully cook live scallops, can their natural toxin still cause paralytic shellfish poisoning? 
Aliza Green's _The Fishmonger's Apprentice : The Expert's Guide to Selecting, Preparing, and Cooking a World of Seafood, Taught by the Masters_. [p 174](https://books.google.ca/books?id=hDe3j9hIgw0C&lpg=PA142&ots=9JPvXZJoVR&dq=%22scoop%20the%20clams%20from%20the%20water%2C%20leaving%20the%20sand%22&pg=PA174#v=onepage&q&f=true).

>Do not eat the organs of a crab, 
including the creamy-textured 
"butter" (the pancreas) of 
Dungeness crab as they may 
contain a **natural toxin, also 
occasionally found in live 
scallops**, that can result in 
paralytic shellfish poisoning 
(PSP). Where or when the toxin 
is found is unpredictable, but 
high levels have been found in 
the crab population, especially 
those from Alaska.
