These fresh "dry" scallops come to us from New York-based Pierless Fish. "Dry" refers to the harvesting method. Dry scallops are shucked right on the boat, and go into a dry container with no water or preservatives. Their flavor is more pure and concentrated than scallops that "dipped", or treated with a preservative solution to make them last longer. Pierless has always prided itself on their focus toward ethical and sustainable farming practices and their commitment to sourcing excellent fish. Their state of the art facility is located in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.
