Description
 
Our sashimi jumbo scallops are the largest and freshest that you can find anywhere. In sushi bars, scallop served as sashimi is known as hototegai. There are less than 8 of these jumbo scallops per pound.
The prized giant deepwater scallop, Mano de Leon (Nodipecten subnodosus), is aptly named by Mexican divers who are reminded of a lion’s paw by its size and golden orange coloration. They are picked by divers in pristine lagoons nourished by the Pacific Ocean. Our scallops are completely free of chemicals, water, or other additives. The natural meat color ranges from off-white to yellow-orange. Excellent on the grill or seared in a sauté pan, these firm, meaty scallops are creamy rich in flavor and an ideal compliment to any surf and turf plate or can be the featured course. With limited seasonal openings and developing farming techniques, the Mano de Leon scallop is a well managed sustainable resource with strictly enforced harvesting procedures. Our scallops are called “dry pack diver scallops” because we don't add water or chemicals to increase the water content. Scallops may have been previously frozen.

Our fresh and live seafood products are as fresh as you can get because we purchase directly from reputable fishermen in California and Baja California who take great pride in providing the highest quality seafood. The seafood is caught and immediately iced or brought to our live tanks until you order. We package it with care, keep it cold in insulated boxes and ship it overnight with FedEx so that it reaches your door fresher than the vast majority of most supermarkets and restaurants.

Stunning February 24, 2010
Reviewer: Josh Stodola from Lincoln, NE United States  
There is only one word to describe these scallops: heavenly.  When I pulled that bag out of the box, I could not believe the size of them; they are the biggest and the freshest I have ever seen.  Do NOT attempt to eat these scallops while standing up, your knees will buckle and you will collapse from the euphoria.  Yes, they are THAT good.  I will probably never be satisfied with any other scallop at any restaurant, so I will definitely be ordering these again soon.

Exceeded my expectations. January 2, 2010
Reviewer: bruce derr from lewisburg, PA United States  
I've been wanting to order from Catalina for quite some time now.  Not sure why I never did until this year.  Anyway...these scallops are just so insanely delicious...I already want more.  The quality of these and EVERYTHING else we got in our order well exceeded any expectations I had.  Amazing company.  Cheers!

WOW!!! Look at the size of these! December 28, 2009
Reviewer: Jeff Lewis from Kansas City, MO United States  
Monster scallops... Excellent, sweet flavor.  Very tender.  Best I've had.  Why bother with rice, soy sauce and wasabi?  Just pick 'em up and eat 'em!!

Excellent Scallops February 2, 2009
Reviewer: Mark  Nagan from Homewood, IL United States  
Huge, great flavor and texture. I  had to create 2 nigiris from each scallop, they were that big. And I like a big nigiri. Add in the excellent flavor and texture and these are among if not the best scallops I have ever had.
