Peak Season: Year-round

Our wild sea scallops come from day boat scallop fishermen — small vessels that spend 24 hours or less at sea, so every scallop is landed at peak quality. They're dry-packed, with no added water or phosphates, so they sear to a deep golden crust instead of steaming in the pan. Expect sweet, silky, luxuriously tender scallops, with 10–15 in each half-pound package. Our favorite way to enjoy them is the simplest: a very hot pan, a knob of butter, and a squeeze of lemon. They're also stunning sliced thin for crudo or tossed with pasta, brown butter, and sage.
