The scallop is easy to love. It has a beautiful shell, is an adorable swimmer, looks gorgeous on the plate, and tastes delicious. The firm white meat of the abductor muscle is a beloved seafood around the globe. Scallops can be dressed up with lots of flavor, or sprinkled with a little salt and seared in butter. It is one of the fastest seafoods to cook.

Our fishmonger Michellene has this to say about cooking scallops: “get your butter or oil really, really hot in a cast iron or steel pan. Place the scallop in the pan and let it sit – don’t move it around or flip it. Wait until that scallop isn’t sticking to the pan and a spatula can easily slide underneath it, about 2-3 minutes. Then flip it and don’t move it around. And about 2-3 minutes later that scallop is ready.”

Our scallops are dry packed, which means they are free from preservatives or chemicals.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING

“A couple weeks ago at the state farmers market I purchased 1 1/2 pounds of fresh sea scallops… they were some of the absolute best scallops I’ve ever eaten in my life! I seared them just like the gentleman working told me to do (I did jazz it up just a bit) and wow, just wow!”

“Just a quick note to tell you what a fabulous scallop dinner we had last night thanks to your catch.”

“The soft shell crab and scallops were amazing. Local and fresh can’t be beat! We’ll be back for more.”
