'L' Hokkaido Gyoren Scallops, 21-25 pcs/kg
These scallops are grown in the very cold seas around Hokkaido, fed by the strong Oyashio subarctic current, rich plankton, and plenty of exercise. The outcome—firm texture with deep flavour and rich umami, and true sashimi grade
MSC-certified sustainable, true sashimi-grade, full nett weight after thawing (unlike the rampant fake Hokkaido scallops), individually quick frozen. Recommended for sashimi, aburi, searing one side, light steaming, quick poaching, steamboat, porridge (esp for babies, one scallop a day)
Note: This has 21-25 pieces per kg, a fine dining size. At this size, the texture is superior and umami is deeper. If you would like something lower cost, consider our 'S' size with 31-35 pieces per kg, which is the size we use at NUDE Seafood. It's still big and substantial

Nature’s Great Gift, Authentic Hokkaido Scallops
Scallops thrive in cold waters, and the phytoplankton-rich waters of Hokkaido are perfect.
Here, fishermen drop juvenile scallops on the seabed (bottom culture) and harvest them 4 years later. The seabed is divided into 4 sections, and each section is seeded and harvested in rotation, ensuring that the wider ocean is not affected. Thus, the valuable scallop resource is cultivated and protected under a strict management system. This approach has gained Hokkaido Gyoren the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification since 2013, for well-managed sustainable fishing.
With ports located very close to the cultivation areas, Hokkaido scallops can be swiftly processed and frozen on the same day of harvest. Instantaneous freezing technology ensures that frozen scallops maintain virtually the same taste and texture as those freshly harvested, preserving their umami and texture even after defrosting. This contrasts with scallops from other origins, which may be harvested and refrigerated on board for up to a week, before landing and freezing on shore
Hokkaido Gyoren is short for the Hokkaido Federation of Fisheries Cooperative Associations, 北海道漁業協同組合連合会.
Surrounded by Japan's longest coastline and beautiful sea, Hokkaido is a seafood kingdom that boasts one-fourth of Japan's seafood catch, and Gyoren is the apex organisation representing 77 fishery associations in Hokkaido. Established in 1944, Gyoren’s mission is to protect the rich seas of the north and deliver fresh, safe and secure marine products to everyone.
Gyoren also issues a Safety Certificate Sticker for authentic Hokkaido Scallops. It is tied to traceability of shellfish toxins, place of origin as well as harvest and processing dates. This sticker is often counterfeited, but a telling detail is the blue Gyoren logo (trinity knot in a circle) printed on the underside of the authentic sticker
Hokkaido scallops are one of nature’s great gifts, but they are often counterfeited. Provenance thus matters, and when you get our Hokkaido Scallops, you are getting quality, safety, and authenticity.
