Our Wild Japanese Hokkaido Scallops represent the highest tier of scallops available on the market. Harvested from the cold, clean waters off Hokkaido, Japan, these scallops are prized for their large size, natural sweetness, and pristine texture.

Unlike inexpensive mini or bay scallops, these are full-size scallops with substantial body and depth. Each scallop is hand-selected for size and quality, delivering a meaty bite and clean, ocean-sweet finish that smaller scallops simply cannot match.

Hokkaido scallops are increasingly rare due to strict harvesting controls and limited supply, which directly impacts availability and price. These are the same scallops used in high-end sushi bars and Michelin-level kitchens—offered here without compromise.

Why Hokkaido Scallops Cost More

Hokkaido scallops command a premium because:

  • They are wild-caught, not farmed
  • Harvest volumes are tightly regulated
  • Only large, intact scallops qualify for export
  • Demand from top restaurants far exceeds supply

You’re paying for size, purity, and rarity—not filler or yield loss.

Size Matters (Important)

These scallops are:

  • Large, intact muscles
  • Thick and meaty
  • Ideal for sashimi, crudo, or perfect searing

They are not:

  • Mini scallops
  • Bay scallops
  • Chopped or processed pieces

How to Enjoy

Exceptional raw as sashimi or crudo

Sear quickly over high heat for a golden crust

Season simply—salt, butter, or citrus

Avoid overcooking to preserve tenderness

Customer photo review of Wild Japanese Sea Scallops, Sushi Grade, Extra Large (12oz portion)

Everything came 24 hours late. Still frozen. We could not have out planned dinner. Uni was in good shape but bitter. Scallops did not live up to our expectations, salmon and tuna were ok. Wish salmon was already cleaned and ready for sushi and sashimi
