Digestive glands /sand sacs
The digestive glands of scallops are also called sand sacs, which is the black thing in the picture, which is full of scallop feces and undigested food.

cheek
Those orange or yellow, eyelash-like areas next to the shell column are the gills of scallops, which are the respiratory organs of scallops, similar to the digestive glands, because they may contain sediment, toxins and heavy metals, so it is not recommended.
Gonadal / shell yellow
The flesh of the genital glands is slightly flaky, and when the reproductive glands mature in late spring, the female scallop reproductive glands become a beautiful red (orange) color, while the male scallops' reproductive glands turn milky white.
After the breeding season, the reproductive glands degenerate, and the female and male are exactly the same in appearance, appearing colorless and translucent.
