Fortune Hokubu Hokkaido Scallops

Our Mizuhopecten yessoensis scallops come from a single source at the northern tip of Hokkaido, Japan, where the shellfish thrive in the cold, nutrient-rich currents of the Sea of Okhotsk. This is where the best of the best Hokkaido scallops come from, and the MSC fishery is supplemented by stock grown on land, providing a reliable and sustainable resource. The name “Hokubu” was inspired by the pristine environment that contributes to the pure white color and sweet flavor of these prized scallops. They are sustainably day boat harvested, and within hours, swiftly machine-shucked to minimize handling and preserve texture. Scallops are Individually Quick Frozen (IQF) within hours of harvest to preserve freshness, sweet flavor, and dense texture. No chemicals are used, so the natural dry, delicate texture, firm bite, and sweet, clean flavor can shine in seared and raw applications.
