Why are our scallops so different?
Most scallops in this country come from large boats that fish offshore for 6 days or more at a time. Those scallops soak up melt water from the ice they're stored in, adding weight and diluting flavor.
Our scallops come ashore within hours of harvest, not days. And they NEVER touch fresh water, so the unique flavors they develop in Maine's pure, clean waters shine through.

Our warehouse is the ocean floor.
We don’t operate like any other seafood business. We don’t have a warehouse full of seafood – our scallops stay on the ocean floor until you order them. We travel the coast to collect scallops on harvest day, then package and ship them the next day.
Maine’s cold, pure waters produce the very best tasting scallops in the world. And our process ensures they reach your hands just as delicious as they were when they were pulled from the sea.

Let customers speak for us
When you have Dayboat scallops you are eating something that makes everything in life worthwhile. The texture is one that melts in your mouth. The taste is reminiscent of the sea, yet with a sweetness that wakens the tongue. I thoroughly enjoy every time I see a box from Dayboat show up.
I have to say, these are the absolute BEST scallops I have ever had! Scallops are my favorite!
Thank you for the best scallops our family loved them
Can’t wait for the next holiday

I tried scallops for the first time a few years ago and absolutely loved them. However finding really fresh seafood inland was always an issue until I found the “Downeast Day Boat” company delivering the freshest and most delicious scallops and lobster meat. I enjoy my trips to Maines coast in the summer but this is the next best thing for our family. Thank you Togue for your great service, we hope you have a pop up store here near Hartford, CT soon!

We ordered your scallops and had them when our daughter was in town. She and her husband are also familiar with and love Downeast Dayboat seafood! It is truly the best and most fresh seafood available!
I was so impressed by the flavor and texture of these frozen dayboat scallops! The 1/2 pound pack option also works well for me.
Wonderful quality! That is what I was looking for, impressed by website for ordering
I think these were the BEST scallops I have EVER had! Unbelievably fresh and delicious!
We are so happy with the flavor and quality of our lobster meat and scallops from Downeast day Boat. Togue is so trustworthy regarding the quality of her product.
What a fabulous treat to have freshest of the fresh scallops, crab and lobster delivered! We shared and had a party. That really made it fun and the aroma and flavor and texture of the Maine coast was a major player at the table. Thank you so so much!
I ordered scallops and lobster meat. Both were off the charts fabulous. A while ago I ordered scallops from a great place in Alaska. They were quite good. But Togues surpassed them.
And no one has better fresh lobster!
I'm not going to water down this description by trying to liken this cheese to a different variety. It is unique and delicious in its own right...firm yet creamy, nutty with a hint of sharpness. I bought 3 pieces...put one on a cheese board and used the other in place of parm in a salad. It showed up beautifully in both presentations.
Scallops have been my favorite thing since I was a kid. I travel far sometimes to find fresh “dry” scallops that have not been treated with preservatives. These scallops are sooooo much better than any I have ever had. It’s impossible to describe the sweet umami flavor of these because I have never tasted anything like it. I only buy scallops from here now.
