With a creamy, vanilla white to slightly pinkish colored flesh, wild Alaskan Weathervane Scallops (or Giant Pacific Scallops) are undisputedly the world’s largest, best, and most deliciously mouthwatering sea scallops.

And if you’re wondering where to buy scallops, we sell and ship them in standard packs containing four ounces each. You can also check out our full selection of fresh and frozen options.

About The Alaskan Weathervane Scallop

Alaskan Weathervane scallops are sought after by the most masterful seafood chefs because of their rich and overpowering flavor. They are similar in taste to lobster and shrimp but also possess a unique sweetness and an almost buttery, tender texture that readily takes on the flavors of the spices used in seasoning. Our unprocessed, dry, smoked scallops are fully cooked with an eye-catching, golden brown color.

With a highly regulated fishery and a fishing season that runs (typically) from August 15th to October 31st in the Kamishak district, Weathervane scallops are harvested using specialized scallop dredges, called bottom trawls, along Kodiak Island and Kamishak Bay in lower Cook Inlet. They are immediately hand-chucked open, the hinge muscle removed, and ice-packed while at sea to preserve their freshness and quality.

Storage & Defrost Methods

Keep your smoked scallops frozen at 0°F or below if you’re not planning on using them right away. For the best flavor experience, we recommend consuming within 3 months.

To thaw, place the package in your refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours. Crucial Note: Do not run the scallops under water or microwave them to speed up the process. Force-thawing ruins the delicate texture and poses a health hazard. Once defrosted, store between 33°F and 35°F and consume within 2 to 3 days. Do not refreeze.

How to properly defrost frozen Alaskan scallops

Kitchen Prep

Our Alaska weathervane scallops arrive completely cured, fully cooked, and ready to eat.

• Open the pack and pat the scallops dry.

• Serve them chilled, or flash-warm them in a pan with butter for 60 seconds.

• Store if you do not plan on consuming immediately or within 2-3 days. 

• Do not overcook, or the meat will become tough and rubbery.
