ABOUT SEA SCALLOP

Prized for its large, delicious, succulent meat, Nova Scotia scallops are harvested from the cold, clean, pristine waters of the Atlantic Ocean, found densely concentrated on the sandy gravel bottoms of the sea. Also referred to as Giant Scallops, sea scallops are bivalve molluscs and are one of Nova Scotia’s most important commercial shellfish species. Sea scallops are possibly best known for its beautiful and distinctive circular-shaped shell that can reach up to 20 cm in size.
