Dry Scallops vs Wet Scallops

No matter what, scallops are a delicious choice for everything from salads, to appetizers, to an elegant dinner.  Dry scallops are wild and natural and a great seared and served alone.  Wet scallops are the perfect ingredient with more complex recipes – Think scallops wrapped in bacon or in creamy pastas.  No matter which you prefer, the sweet, meaty flavor of scallops are gaining in popularity across America.

Important Updates 2/1/2023

• Oyster Shortages Starting the end of this week we will be short on product and will have to ration accordingly. This year we are expecting shortages that are not uncommon, however, we have not experienced in the last few years. A combination of light seed purchasing/planting in the height of the pandemic, lingering ice, and cold weather, plus an unprecedented demand in the last year has left almost all our suppliers short on product until they can harvest from new beds. Please know that we will do everything we can to get you as much product as possible.
