Description

Savor the ocean’s purest delicacy with our wild-caught Atlantic sea scallops—carefully selected from day boats that fish the cold, nutrient-dense waters off the coast of New England. Unlike larger trawling operations, day boat fishing ensures scallops are caught and brought to shore within hours, preserving their unrivaled freshness, natural texture, and sweet, briny essence. It’s no wonder chefs and seafood connoisseurs alike consider these some of the finest scallops available in the market today.

Each scallop is hand-shucked at sea to preserve the integrity of the meat, yielding plump, creamy medallions with a firm yet tender bite. These are dry-packed scallops, meaning they are 100% free of preservatives or added water—just pure, wild ocean flavor. With their buttery richness and delicate sweetness, they’re perfect for elegant preparations: seared until golden with a crisp crust, sliced into a refreshing crudo with citrus and herbs, or gently poached in a white wine and garlic broth.

Our day boat sea scallops are not just a delicacy—they’re also a smart, healthy seafood choice. Rich in lean protein, Omega-3 fatty acids, and essential nutrients like Vitamin B12 and selenium, they support a heart-healthy lifestyle without sacrificing flavor. Whether you’re crafting fine-dining recipes or weeknight meals, these scallops elevate your seafood experience to restaurant-quality at home.

Shipped fresh with express delivery in insulated packaging, our wild-caught scallops arrive cold and ready for the pan, grill, or plate. Each pound yields approximately 10–20 large sea scallops, ideal for dinner parties, special events, or meal prep with a gourmet twist.

From dock to door, our commitment to sustainable sourcing and premium quality means you can enjoy New England’s finest scallops with confidence—and a whole lot of culinary satisfaction.
