Togue's Tips:
Did you know scallops have different tastes and textures, just like oysters do? You've heard of "terroir" in wine. In seafood these place-based differences are referred to as "merroir". Maine's cold, clear waters produce amazing varietals.
This collection will contain three one pound packages of scallops, each from a different area. Throw a scallop tasting party! Check out the lovely photo of such a party thrown by my great customer Kirk Flatow.
Note: if weather issues prevent us from sourcing three fresh varietals, we may ship two fresh varietals and one frozen varietal, but that is a rare event.
More info on why these scallops are so delicious:
Downeast Dayboat scallops are amazing for two reasons: one is that they come from Maine's cold, clear inshore waters. The second reason is how they're handled. They never touch fresh water and they're shipped to you within 24 hours. NO ONE ELSE DOES THAT!
These scallops are boat-run, which means the size will vary according to fishing location. They generally run 15 to 20 to a pound though.
Each pack will be labeled with the harvest location in addition to the name of the fisherman, the name of his boat and the harvest date.
This variety pack makes a great gift - it's a wonderful way to introduce your friends and family to what they've been missing all these years. THIS is what scallops should taste like.

The quality of the product is excellent! The personal touch provided is above and beyond both with the product and the customer service! I would highly recommend Downeast Day Boa!t
My husband grew up in Maine and neither of us have ever tasted high quality scallops like these anywhere else. We are grateful to Togue and the Downeast Dayboat team for their hard work and for making our taste buds sing in our land locked state of Colorado! May the scallops go forth and multiply; may the oceans continue to support them. Many many thanks.
We received your sampler scallops from our family who lives in Maine. We live in the Midwest, so it was such a treat to eat FRESH scallops. They were harvested on 12/15 and we were eating them on 12/18. All of the notes about how to store them and prepare them were very educational and helpful! Thank you!
I ordered myself a pound of scallops and immediately put them in my freezer for a later date. Well that date has come and gone. I made them for dinner one night and, yes indeed they were THE BEST SCALLOPS EVER. I was used to buying the ones in the local store, they’re frozen and who knows where they’re harvested from, and every time I cooked them, the pan was full of water. I will NEVER buy my scallops from the local store. These may cost more, but as the commercial says, I’m worth it. And I’m a firm believer that in order to eat good food you may have to pay a bit more for it, but in the long run you’re worth it. My late husband LOVED scallops, he was allergic to shrimp, he would have loved these. Gotta go, gotta order some more.
