Commonly referred to as Great or King Scallops, sea scallops are bivalve molluscs and are one of Nova Scotia’s most important commercial shellfish species. Sea scallops are possibly best known for their beautiful and distinctive circular-shaped shell that can reach up to 20 cm (8 inches) in size.
Scallops harvested in Nova Scotia are certified by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), the world’s leading certification and eco-labelling programs for wild sustainable seafood.
