GIANT SCALLOPS / PLACOPECTEN MEGELLANICUS

OCI Frozen · Origin: Canada · Size: 10/20 · 1Kg · Product Code: FZ0179

The Giant Scallop, known scientifically as Placopecten magellanicus, is one of the most celebrated bivalves in North American seafood — and in the hands of OCI, a brand synonymous with premium quality Canadian seafood, it reaches its finest commercial expression. Harvested from the cold, nutrient-rich waters of Canada, these scallops are among the largest and most impressive available on the market, offering the generous sizing, consistent quality, and exceptional flavour profile that professional kitchens worldwide have come to rely upon.

Each scallop is a study in textural contrast and flavour balance. The adductor muscle is firm and substantial, yielding beautifully under heat while retaining a tender, almost creamy centre that is the hallmark of a truly premium scallop. The flavour is sweet and naturally rich, with a clean, slightly briny depth that speaks directly to the cold Canadian waters from which these scallops are harvested. Seared in a blazing hot pan to achieve that coveted golden crust, roasted in the shell with herb butter, or served raw as a refined crudo, the Giant Scallop never fails to deliver.

At 10/20 count per kilogram, each scallop is a genuinely generous portion — impressive on the plate and deeply satisfying on the palate.
