Omega Sea's Scallops
Omega Sea Scallops

Omega Sea Inc. is the largest importer of Peruvian and Chilean Scallops in the USA. We also import from China, Argentina, Iceland, The Philippines, Russia, Mexico, Japan, and wherever else we can access high quality Scallop products.

We sell the raw material "as is", and we also process for our own labels - ALPHA SEAS & RED SKY - as well as private labels for other large multi-item seafood companies.

We sell all sizes from u/10 to 200/300 and/or broken, IQF, block, frozen, or anyway you want them!

Biology

Scallops are found from the intertidal zone and down to depths of several hundred metres, but occur most frequently at depths of between 10 and 30 metres. Giant scallops often live in areas with sandy bottoms, resting in small hollows with the less-sculptured upper shell covered by sand, but they are also found on other types of seabed. Scallops are hermaphrodites. They carry their eggs in a special sac in front of the adductor muscle, and the orange part is the egg and the grey-white part is the milt. Scallop spawn in the summer. The larva swim freely for approximately one month before attaching themselves to a surface. Juvenile scallops remain stationary until they reach a size of 10–15 mm, when they settle on the bottom. Scallops are marketable after four or five years, when they have reached a size of at least 10 cm.

Nutritional Value

The muscle of the giant scallop is lean but has a very high content of omega-3 fatty acids. The egg sac is particularly rich in riboflavin and pantothenic acid and also contains plenty of zinc.
