Nantucket Bay Scallops are landed whole and alive. They are hand-shucked and usually shipped the same day. They average between 40-60 count per pound.
Like a fine wine, Bay Scallops acquire their taste by the type and location of where they are harvested. Nantucket is isolated from the mainland by twenty-six miles of ocean that have protected this one-of-a-kind scallop fishery since the late 1800s. They are considered a delicacy the world over and can be spotted on menus in upscale fish markets and restaurants from coast to coast (and beyond). No scallop is more revered.
They are famous for their buttery, sweet, and truly melt-in-your-mouth delicious natural flavor. Incredibly rich in taste, they are never soaked and there are no preservatives added. The Nantucket Bay Scallop is guaranteed to be the best bay scallop you will ever taste.
