Are all shell fish edible?
I wanna go down to the beach and scrape some shellfish off the rocks; cook them and eat them. Are any of the poisonous?

You'll need to get more information about the area where you'd like to go clamming. Perhaps you find a tour guide or professional who can give you the best advice!
I don't believe many shellfish are inherently poisonous to people, but I'm sure some are. More importantly they can certainly be harmful even if they aren't poisonous and some areas can be closed for clamming due to poor water quality, pollution, or to help maintain the shellfish populations. Some areas might have a restrictions on the amount of certain breeds of shellfish you are allowed to harvest. In some areas you even need a license to harvest shellfish, just like you'd need one to hunt or fish.
For your own safety, and to help preserve the habitats of these creatures, you need to do a great deal more research on the specific beach and local laws governing harvesting shellfish.
