This product is why this company exists.
Our founder Togue is on a mission to show you what scallops are SUPPOSED to taste like. No scallop on the market can match the flavor of a true Maine Dayboat Scallop. 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.
The 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.
These 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.
Each 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.
This 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.
We recommend you purchase fresh items together (fresh scallops, live oysters, smoked seafood) and frozen items together, as mixing the two will diminish quality.
And remember: at 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.
Other: We 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.
*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.

We ordered 2 lbs of scallops. They arrived exactly when Tigue said, in a well packed, insulated box (mother nature helped with that), and were absolutely delicious.
The scallops were fresh and sweet. They shipped quickly and the traction was seamless. We will definitely order again. Highly recommend!
We continue to enjoy Downeast Dayboat's amazing products - we especially love the scallops. We no longer order scallops at restaurants because we would be disappointed - not even the high end ones! And we love it when our friends thank us for recommending Downeast Dayboat to them. So grateful we get to enjoy fresh seafood like this - in the midwest and at home! Tongue provides such excellent service and communication - simply the best quality all around! Thank you!
Togue rocks with the scallops and lobster. It is such a treat to receive them. Since I no longer live in New England it is difficult to get really good seafood like Togue provides — always such a treat! I have found nothing of comparable quality elaewhere
Wonderful scallops the best I have ever had and I love them
