Can you tell me if i could eat scallops without any allergic reaction?

No: Shellfish allergy can happen to anyone at anytime but there is no way to predict who, when, where etc. If one have a known fish or shellfish allergy then one should never consume these foods --- an allergic reaction will occur and it could be deadly.

Why the question?: A 2002 phone survey found a 2% incidence of shellfish allergy but the actual incidence is likely lower. Over 90% of the people with a food allergy have other allergic diseases such as hay fever, asthma, or eczema . If you don't have any of these conditions then you are unlikely to develop allergy to scallops. If you do have symptoms after eating them in.
