Sea Scallops

New Bedford Scallops: the Best Dayboat Scallops in the World

Our day boat scallops are the real deal, sourced directly from the scallop capital of the world: New Bedford, Massachusetts. 

When you buy sea scallops online from LobsterAnywhere, we pledge:

• Flash-frozen for top-shelf quality. We use the individually quick frozen (IQF) method to flash freeze these beautiful scallops, locking in their fresh textures and flavors. Frozen- at- -Sea Scallops out-perfom fresh and other frzeon scallops on wight loss, cooked yeild, flavor, texture and appearance. 
• Dry-packed, always. We shuck and pack our scallops on ice, a packing method that’s difficult, but also preserves the scallop’s best and freshest flavors.
• Natural and no additives. Skip the side of preservatives—our scallops are never packed with chemical additives like phosphates. 
• Shipped fresh overnight. Get you scallops fresh and still cold, and you’ll never go back to store-bought. Freshness like this changes the game.

You can’t buy sea scallops of this size or quality at your local seafood market. Bought fresh off the boat and flash frozen to lock in freshness, these scallops are truly the best that you can buy. Our 100% Natural Sea Scallops are sure to tantalize the taste buds of any seafood lover.
