Our fish
Scallops
Japan
Our Japanese Scallops are sourced from the Northwest Pacific. Their commercial name is derived from the Latin term “Yesso,” meaning “North of Japan” in historical Japanese.
This species is primarily found off the North Coast of Japan. Like all bivalves, these species lives in a shell accessible by a large muscle. . This muscle is considered to be the tastiest part of the Scallop. Japanese Scallops live in the seabed and filter seawater for edible particles. Widely regarded as a delicacy, Japanese Scallops are a must-have in any culinary kitchen. They are especially delightful when seared on both sides over high heat. Amacore also offers them with the MSC label for sustainable sourcing.
America
Our American Scallops are sourced from the Northwest Atlantic Ocean, where they are dredged from the seabed. Similar to their Japanese counterparts, they reside in shells that can be opened to reveal the most flavorful part of the Scallop, the adductor muscles. While sharing similarities with Japanese Scallops, American Scallops are noted for their distinctive flavor and slightly whiter flesh. Available year-round, our American Scallops can also be supplied with the MSC label for sustainable sourcing.
