Hokkaido Scallop (Live)

Live Hokkaido scallops, known for their sweet and delicate flavor, are a true delicacy. They have a beautiful, slightly rounded shell that is usually light beige or cream-colored, often with a hint of purple or pink. Inside, the meat is plump and ivory-white, sometimes slightly translucent.

When fresh, live Hokkaido scallops have a briny, oceanic scent and a slightly firm texture. They are often served sashimi-style, showcasing their natural sweetness, or lightly seared to enhance their rich, buttery flavor. The roe, or coral, is also edible and adds a unique taste to the dish.

Harvested from the cold, clean waters of Hokkaido, these scallops are prized not just for their taste but also for their freshness, often served the same day they are caught.
