Wild-caught U-18 Hokkaido sea scallops sourced from the pristine, ice-cold waters of northern Hokkaido, Japan. The "U-18" designation indicates under 18 scallops per pound, placing these in the large-to-extra-large size category. Sold by the pound, previously frozen.

These all-natural, dry scallops are never treated with water-retaining additives, delivering a clean, ocean-sweet flavor and a firm, meaty texture prized by professional chefs and home cooks alike. The Hokkaido scallop species (Patinopecten yessoensis) is renowned for its deep umami character and sashimi-grade quality. Flash-frozen shortly after harvest to lock in freshness, they thaw quickly and sear beautifully with a golden crust. Versatile for pan-searing, grilling, steaming, or serving as sashimi.
