A Day Boat Scallop is a scallop harvested and landed by a commercial fishing vessel within 24 hours. Scallops harvested and landed the same day are fresher & considered higher quality scallops than those scallops caught by bigger fishing vessels that are out to sea for many days.

Yes! You bet we are!
The F/V Midnight Our & the F/V Nemesis are both day boats.

Yes! Sea Scallops are heavily followed by science and regulated.
This helps ensure the fishery's future.

Our scallops are DRY scallops!
We only offer wild caught, natural scallops!
Dry scallops have NO chemicals or additives added to them.
What we catch – is what you eat!
There is NO OTHER WAY. Chemicals are just YUCK!

No! Stop! Do not rinse your scallops (unless you really want to).
We triple wash the scallops while shucking, cleaning and bagging the scallops with clean cold ocean water. Salt water helps ensure the scallops flavor does not get watered down. Washing or soaking scallops in fresh water will cause them to lose some of their flavor.
If you really want to rinse your scallops - do it quickly & in cold water.

Yes, absolutely!  Scallops freeze incredibly well.

There is really no wrong way to freeze scallops. Honestly, they freeze amazingly well with little to no effort.  Below are some of the ways we freeze them.
  1. Pop the container you got from us right into the freezer. The sooner after you purchase the better.
  2. Place the scallops in a ziplock bag and squeeze or roll out as much air as you can.
  3. If you have a lot of time: Place scallops on a cookie sheet and place in the freezer for about 20 min. until the scallops get a little firm on the outside. Once the scallops are firm, remove them from the cookie sheet and place in a bag and place back in the freezer.  This "trick"  allows you to “pop” some of the scallops out of the freezer later on without having to defrost the entire container.

You Bet We Do!

 Atlantic surf clams (Spisula solidissima) are the largest bivalves in the western North Atlantic, growing up to 8.9 inches long and living for over 30 years.

Surf clams bury themselves in the sandy bottoms of the continental shelf, intertidal zones and in high-energy surf zones. They live in shallow coastal waters, down to about 150’. Surf clams are native to the waters of The United States.

We produce surf clams in 2 ways: Chopped, or as clam strips. Clam strips are the traditional Cape Cod staple: deep fried and dipped in your favorite sauce. Chopped clams bring some variety – Clam chowder, linguini with clam sauce, and stuffies.

 Surf clams have a mild, sweet- almost buttery flavor.

 We only recommend thawing frozen surf clams under refrigeration.

Nope! There’s a few distinct differences:
Quahogs (Hard-shell clams): Have very thick, heavy, round-to-oval shells with a sharp, prominent curve at the umbo (the hinge where the shells connect) and fine concentric growth lines. The inside of the shell often features a distinctive purple/violet marking.
Surf clams (Atlantic surf clams / sea clams): Have larger, more triangular or elongated shells that are thinner and less bulbous at the hinge than quahogs.

 Yes! We welcome anybody who is interested in partnering with our company to shoot us an email or give us a call to talk!
