These are large, premium wild-caught sea scallops harvested from the Atlantic coast and processed in New Bedford, Massachusetts. The U-20 designation indicates the scallops are packed at a count of under 20 per pound, meaning each individual scallop is generously sized. Grade A certification ensures excellent quality with good odor, color, and appearance, with no obvious blemishes or defects.

Sold as a full case priced per pound, this product is ideal for commercial kitchens, restaurants, and bulk buyers. The scallops are dry scallops — they are not treated with water-retention chemicals such as tri-sodium phosphate, which means no inflated weight or off-flavors. Each scallop is individually quick frozen (IQF), locking in freshness and allowing convenient portioning without thawing the entire case. Keep frozen until ready to use.

Scallops have a mild, naturally sweet flavor and a firm yet tender texture. They are well suited for pan searing, grilling, broiling, or incorporating into pasta dishes and chowders. For best results, thaw in the refrigerator and pat dry before cooking to achieve a golden sear.
