Japanese Hokkaido sea scallops harvested from the cold waters of Hokkaido, Japan. These premium U16-size scallops contain fewer than 16 scallops per pound, indicating a large, meaty size. Sold raw and frozen in a 2-pound bag, they feature a firm texture with a naturally rich, sweet flavor prized for both cooked and raw preparations.

These versatile scallops are ideal for searing in a cast iron skillet with high-smoke-point oil for a golden-brown crust while remaining soft and moist inside. They also work beautifully served raw as crudo, sashimi, nigiri, or in sushi rolls. Pair seared scallops with pasta, risotto, or as part of a surf and turf dish for an elegant meal.
