About Alaskan Weathervane Scallops
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, with an almost buttery, tender texture, which readily takes on the flavors of the spices used in seasoning. Our unprocessed, dry, smoked Alaskan scallops are fully cooked with an eye-catching, golden brown color.
As nutritious as they are tasty, smoked scallops are listed among the world’s healthiest foods. They are richly laden with protein, magnesium, iron, potassium, iodine, phosphorus, zinc, choline, selenium, and vitamin B12.
With a highly regulated fishery and a fishing season that runs from August 15th to October 31st in the Kamishak district, Alaska 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.
Smoked Alaskan scallops are easily butter-fried, grilled, baked, or sautéed. They are even an ingredient used in Japanese sushi.

How to properly defrost frozen Alaskan scallops: We recommend that the frozen weathervane scallops be defrosted by placing the product in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours before cooking. Never force thaw a product by running it under water (hot or cold as it can cook the product). Not only does this reduce the flavor, but it is also a health hazard.
