Dayboat Dry Scallops – Half Shell (U10/U20)

These are true dry scallops, wild-caught off the coast of Peru and landed same-day by small dayboats—ensuring maximum freshness and minimal handling. Presented beautifully on the half shell, these U10/U20 scallops offer a balance of visual appeal, clean flavor, and chef-level versatility.

Unlike wet-packed scallops treated with preservatives or phosphates, ours are 100% dry-processed, meaning they caramelize beautifully when seared and deliver their natural sweet brininess with every bite.

• Dayboat-harvested: Landed and processed within hours, not days

• Dry scallops: No chemicals, no added water — just clean flavor and texture

• U10/U20 size: Large, meaty scallops — perfect for grilling, searing, or crudo

• Half-shell format: Ready-to-use, stunning for plating or grilling

• Flash-frozen at peak freshness

How to Enjoy

Seared: Pat dry and sear in hot oil or butter 1.5–2 minutes per side for a crisp golden crust.

Grilled (on shell): Place directly on grill with garlic butter or miso glaze — 2–3 minutes with shell down.

Crudo: Slice thin, serve raw with citrus, chili oil, or yuzu for an elegant starter.

Broiled: Add breadcrumbs and a dot of butter, broil on high until just golden.

In Peru and Chile this is how you eat scallops. Add Parmesan Cheese and cook. Check the video below:
