Description & Characteristics

The Hokkaido Sea Scallop is a bivalve mollusk inhabiting the territorial waters of Japan in the Sea of Okhotsk and the Nemuro Straits off the northern island of Hokkaido. These Sea Scallops are filter feeders and have the fastest growth rate during the late spring and summer when plankton is naturally abundant.

The average size at harvest when the scallop is **5 years old is approximately **7 inches in shell length. This produces the scallop meat adductor muscle that is approximately ****0 count per pound.  The Hokkaido Sea Scallop fishery is considered wild because the seeded beds are provided with no ongoing nutrition or confinement in the designated ocean beds. The seeding of one year old scallops to the bed areas in the Sea of Okhotsk is essential for maintaining the productivity of this wild fishery.  There is currently work on building hatcheries for scallop seed because the natural collection of spat (seed) is dependent upon the natural spawning of the local scallops in the spring which can be unpredictable.

Commercial harvesting is done overwhelmingly by dredging the beds, but harvesting by individual divers has gained a specialty following due to perceived harvest quality. The harvested scallops are transported immediately to nearby processing facilities to assure the highest quality.

The Hokkaido Sea Scallop fishery is the largest in the world and these delicacies have become popular throughout Asia, Europe, and the United States. Sea Port sources IQF Hokkaido Sea Scallops (rather than block frozen) to add a higher level of convenience.
