And while our frozen scallops are absolutely wonderful (since they never touch fresh water, they freeze better than any other scallops), there's just something special about eating a scallop that was relaxing in Maine's cold, clear waters just 24 hours previously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe first thing you'll notice is the pure, sweet smell of the sea. The texture, sweetness and brine level will vary by location, but ALL Maine scallops are delicious and ours are guaranteed to be the best you can get. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThese are \"boat run\" which means they come right off the boat with only minimal sorting, so the size will vary. Plan on roughly 20 to a pound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eEach package is labeled with the name of the fisherman who caught them, the name of his boat, the area they were harvested and the date of harvest, all sealed in oxygen-permeable cryovac bags for optimum quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis season we're offering discounts: the more you order, the more you save.  Shelf life will be approximately 5 days from receipt, so you should plan on freezing them or eating them in that time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWe recommend you purchase fresh items together (fresh scallops, live oysters, smoked seafood) and frozen items together, as mixing the two will diminish quality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAnd remember: \u003cem\u003eat checkout you'll select the shipping week, not the shipping day. We generally ship via Federal Express Overnight on Wednesday, meaning you'll receive your scallops on Thursday.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOther\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e: \u003c\/em\u003eWe can guarantee something else that's very important: unlike 95% of US sea scallops, our scallops will NEVER touch fresh water.  The texture of these scallops is completely different from what you're used to: when you pop these scallops in your mouth you'll experience a silky, buttery feel and toothsome texture that's hard to describe, but once you've had it you can't go back to scallops from traditional channels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e*Volume discounts in place beginning November 2025. In the past, all scallops were one price per pound, regardless of how many pounds were ordered.  But the high cost of shipping meant it would actually cost us money to send a single pound of scallops.  This season, we're incentivizing the purchase of more pounds, which works better for us, better for you, and better for the environment.  And since they're all in one pound bags, it's easy to go in with friends, family or coworkers to place a bulk order.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Downeast Dayboat","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47596623757539,"sku":"SSFSDD001LB-1","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2469\/2707\/files\/Fresh_3_pack_pier_water.jpg?v=1733683560","url":"https:\/\/downeastdayboat.com\/products\/fresh-maine-dayboat-scallops-1lb","provider":"Downeast Dayboat","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
