Kirkland Signature Wild U-15 Grade A Sea Scallops are large, wild-caught sea scallops graded under 15 per pound, placing them in the largest commercially available size category. Certified Grade A by the U.S. Department of Commerce (USDC), these scallops meet the highest federal quality standards for odor, color, and appearance, with no blemishes or defects.

These are dry scallops, meaning they have not been treated with sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) or any other artificial preservatives. Unlike wet scallops, dry scallops release minimal moisture during cooking, allowing them to develop a proper golden sear in a hot pan. This results in better texture and a sweeter, cleaner flavor. Because they are wild-caught from sustainable fisheries rather than farmed, they carry no added antibiotics or the contaminants more commonly associated with aquaculture operations.

Each 2.5 lb bag is flash-frozen at peak freshness to preserve quality from catch to table. Keep frozen until ready to use; thaw in the refrigerator before cooking. Ideal for pan-searing, grilling, broiling, or use in classic preparations such as Coquilles St. Jacques.
