Hokkaido Scallops (Hotate) Sashimi Grade AAA 1kg

Hokkaido · Sashimi-Grade Hokkaido Scallops (Hotate) Brought directly from Hokkaido, Japan — only by Hokkaido Uni Shop. What are Hokkaido scallops (hotate)? Hotate (帆立) are Japanese sea scallops known for a natural sweetness and a firm, creamy texture. These come from Hokkaido, where the cold, nutrient-rich waters and managed aquaculture give the scallops time to grow slowly. Sashimi grade means they can be eaten raw — as sashimi, sushi, or carpaccio — or lightly seared, grilled, or pan-finished. Raw, the flavor is clean and sweet with a tender bite. A quick sear on high heat caramelizes the surface while keeping the center soft, which is the simplest way to bring out their sweetness. Because they're frozen at peak condition and shipped that way, they arrive ready to thaw and use.
