Premium wild-caught Hokkaido scallops from the cold waters of Hokkaido, Japan, sold frozen in a 1.5-pound bag. The U20 designation indicates fewer than 20 scallops per pound, meaning these are large, restaurant-quality scallops. The species is Patinopecten yessoensis, also known as the Japanese or Ezo giant scallop.

These scallops are frozen raw with no added brining, seasoning, or preservatives, making them extremely versatile for a wide range of preparations. They feature a firm yet tender texture and a naturally rich, sweet flavor prized in both Japanese and Western cuisine. They are excellent pan-seared in a cast iron skillet for a golden-brown crust, served as sashimi or crudo, used in sushi preparations, or added to pasta, risotto, and paella dishes. Thaw safely in the refrigerator before cooking.
