Rock scallops- Can you eat the roe?

[red_instead]

Hey, longtime listener, first time caller. Anyway, I've been watching a lot of how-tos on cleaning rock scallops, and I notice that people pretty much just toss the roe overboard with most of the guts when they're cleaning them. I know that a lot of scallop species, the roe is pretty tasty and desirable.

Is this a safety concern because of paralytic shellfish poisoning threat in California, or is the roe just not good to eat, or do people just not know what they're missing?

Thanks all.
