So is the membrane beside edible and is that dark thing

Tell me you didn't just rip it open, OP.
Anyway. There's nothing edible in there except for the muscle that closes and opens the shell - the white thingy. You can also eat the "mantle", I honestly don't really now what it's called in english. It should be bright red/orange.

The dark thing is its stomach, don't worry. There is poop in it though, just not there in particular.

it's good brined in a sweet vinegar and put in salads.
