You can eat the yellow part of the scallop if you want too.
The yellow part of the scallop is called the roe which is edible but has a stronger taste than the scallop meat but it compliments the regular scallop meat.
It's a personal preference as to whether or not you want to eat the roe or yellow part of the scallop.
A good way to tell if and when a scallop or scallops are fully cooked is to look for a change in color.
The scallop or scallops are fully cooked once the scallop is opaque in color.
If the scallop is not opaque in color then they need cooked a bit longer.
Scallops usually take around 4 to 5 minutes to fully cook in a skillet.
Cook the scallop for around 2 minutes on each side until the scallop becomes opaque in color.

The part of the scallop that is most often eaten is the adductor muscle that opens and closes the shell.
Scallops have two shells and you can also eat the reproductive organs, or roe which are all edible but not everyone eats those parts.
Most people just eat those adductor muscles that allow the shell to open and close and then throw the rest away.
But if you prefer to eat the rest of the scallop you certainly can.
Scallops also are bivalve mollusks which means the scallops have two shells.
A scallop is any one of numerous species of saltwater clams or marine bivalve mollusks in the taxonomic family Pectinidae, the scallops.
