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.

somewhat disappointing June 15, 2010
Reviewer: David Justice from Franklin, TN United States  
After reading a few rave reviews, I decided to go ahead and try some of these scallops. My experience did not live up to all of the hype. The scallops were very firm and lacked much flavor.

The scallops I got were by no means terrible, and they came at a pretty reasonable price, so I still give them three stars. But they weren't exceptional.

Amazing March 31, 2010
Reviewer: Jesse Nelson from Richmond, IL United States  
These are one of the tastiest things I've ever eaten in my life.  Try them with lime.  I'd give them 6 stars for tasting so fresh I could swear I was eating them straight out of the ocean.  This is my new favorite.  The texture is so nice in your mouth.  When you bite in its just perfect.  Make sure you have someone else around though, otherwise you might just eat them all yourself.

INCREDIBLE SIZE AND FLAVOR! March 24, 2010
Reviewer: Dean Schoeneck from Norman, OK United States  
Ordered scallops for the first time.  Arrived fresh and ice cold.  Amazed at the HUGE size and volume.  Immediately rinsed one off and sliced it up for a sashimi treat... OMG... firm, tender, pure, mildly sweet melt in your mouth goodness.  Does NOT get any better.  Then I seared one whole on both sides and just about passed out from the experience.  HANDS DOWN THE BEST!  Restaurants have NOTHING on these scallops.  Will definitely buy again!

Excellent HUGE Scallops March 18, 2010
Reviewer: Richard from NY  
I absolutely love scallops... whether sashimi, sushi, broiled, pan fried, deep fried. So for my first order at Catalina I HAD to try them.

Opened up the package, some were slightly frozen from being packaged with totally frozen items, so I thawed them under the sink. Sliced them up and ate probably 10z to myself, and gave the rest to my dad who loved them.

Definitely will buy again!
