What to know about North Atlantic Sea Scallops:
- Whole Foods Market’s North Atlantic sea scallops are frozen within hours of harvest.

- These scallops are perfect for grilling, and work well in a kebab. From summer dinner parties to quick lunches, scallops can be dressed up or down and pair well with seasonal produce, fresh herbs and bright citrus.
- Scallops are very low in saturated fat. They are also a good source of magnesium and potassium, and a very good source of protein and vitamin B12.
- These sea scallops are traced from the fishery to the store, ensuring customers receive the highest quality seafood they expect.
- The Marine Stewardship Council’s blue eco-label indicates that the scallops – and all seafood with the MSC label – were certified sustainable by accredited, independent agencies.
Whole Foods Market is proud to set the industry’s highest seafood standards for quality and sustainability. By collaborating with the Marine Stewardship Council, the world’s leading seafood certification program, and science-based rating programs from the Monterey Bay Aquarium and the Safina Center, Whole Foods Market is working to reverse trends of overfishing and bycatch.
