At Haidong Seafood, we pride ourselves on sourcing the finest Pacific sea scallops. The Atlantic sea scallop is renowned for its sweet flavor and tender texture, commonly found in the North Atlantic Ocean. In contrast, the Pacific sea scallop, our specialty, thrives in the cooler waters of the Northern Pacific, offering a slightly different taste and texture profile that discerning customers appreciate.

Dry Sea Scallops

Our frozen sea scallops are processed as ‘dry,’ meaning they are free from added water or chemicals, ensuring a pure, unadulterated product. This method preserves the natural flavor and texture, making them a premium choice for culinary use.

Sea Scallop Shell

Each sea scallop comes enclosed in a distinctive shell, known for its beautiful fan shape, which is often used in culinary presentations. The shell also serves as an indicator of freshness and quality.
