These scallops are from the in-shore scallop fishery within State Waters (which are waters from each states shoreline out to 3 miles).   A limited access scallop license is still required, but these fishermen are not limited by their days at sea, but instead they are limited by their catch size. No more than 400 lbs of scallop meats per day.  As these scallopers are allowed to fish close to shore, and will return to port in a single day, as their catch weight is extremely small, these are truly day boats.  The scallop meats will then enter the distribution chain within 24 hrs, requiring NO preserving agents to lengthen their shelf life.

These untainted scallops are identifiable by their natural mix of colors from ivory to a coral color, a “wiggling” firmness showing that they are still alive, and a natural briny-ness, allowing the scallops to always caramelize beautifully with all their natural juices retained. Sushi Quality Delivered.

As of December first, the in-shore scallop fishery opens to Diver’s – at which point we will be handling true Diver Caught Sea Scallops.
