🐚 Miss Giant, Sweet, Plump Seafood? Experience Hokkaido’s Finest "Ready-to-Eat" Steamed Scallops!
Flash-Steamed to Lock in Sweetness, Individually Frozen, and Plump. The Ultimate Premium Seafood Staple Sourced via Costco.
If you are disappointed by the small, watery, shrimp-sized bay scallops often found at standard local grocery stores, it's time to upgrade your freezer. Finding thick, restaurant-grade scallops in Japan without hitting a high-end specialty fish market can be a challenge. Elevate your dinners with Premium Steamed Hokkaido Scallops (Size L), sourced in high-quality bulk packs via Costco.
Harvested from the cold, nutrient-rich waters of Funka Bay in Hokkaido, these scallops are processed using a specialized super-heated steam method right after harvest. This process instantly seals the deep natural sweetness and rich umami juices inside the meat before they are flash-frozen. Best of all, they are labeled explicitly as "Safe for Raw Consumption" (生食可)—meaning once thawed, they are completely safe to eat straight from the bag without cooking!
💡 Why Expat Home Cooks and Seafood Lovers Keep This 800g Bag Stocked
Individually Quick Frozen (IQF) Convenience: The scallops are frozen individually rather than in one giant solid block. This means you can easily grab exactly what you need—whether it’s 4 pieces for a quick lunch or a dozen for dinner—and leave the rest sealed in the freezer.
Plump, Meaty Size L Portions: These are large, substantial shucked scallop meats with the row/muscle intact, providing a beautiful presentation and a dense, satisfying bite.
The "Ice Water Thawing" Professional Secret: To enjoy these raw without losing their plump texture, do not microwave them. Place the desired number of scallops in a sealed plastic bag, submerge the bag in a bowl of ice water, and let them thaw slowly in the fridge. This keeps the temperature right around 0°C, preventing the sweet juices from leaking out.

🍳 Simple Kitchen Hacks & Quick Gourmet Recipes
Because these are already perfectly steamed, cooking them is incredibly fast. The key is to never overcook them so they stay soft and juicy.
The 2-Minute Garlic Butter Sear: Melt a generous knob of butter in a screaming hot skillet with a bit of minced garlic. Toss in your thawed scallops and sear them for just 45 to 60 seconds on each side to get a beautiful golden crust. Since they are already cooked through, you are just warming them and adding flavor, leaving the center incredibly tender.
The Quick Poké-Style Scallop & Avocado Salad: Dice thawed scallops and a fresh avocado into bite-sized pieces. Toss them gently in a bowl with a splash of sesame oil, soy sauce, and a touch of wasabi. It makes an elegant, refreshing appetizer that pairs perfectly with a cold beer or white wine.
The Creamy White Seafood Pasta Booster: Drop a handful of thawed scallops into your favorite jarred Alfredo sauce or white cream pasta dish during the final 2 minutes of simmering. The scallops absorb the cream beautifully while releasing their rich seafood depth into the sauce.
❄️ Leftover Recovery: Turning Extra Scallops into Savory Stock
If you have a handful of scallops left at the bottom of the bag and want to clear out your freezer space, use them to create a deep, umami-rich base for other meals:
The Ultimate Umami Seafood Rice (Takikomi Gohan): Toss 5 to 6 frozen scallops directly into your rice cooker along with 2 cups of washed rice, a splash of soy sauce, a dash of cooking sake, and some sliced mushrooms or carrots. Cook everything together on the standard white rice setting. The scallops will break down slightly, infusing every single grain of rice with a rich, comforting Hokkaido seafood broth.
💬 What the Expat Community is Saying
"Finding good quality scallops that don’t shrink down to nothing when cooked used to be impossible. This Costco bag is fantastic. They are huge, sweet, and incredibly fresh. We thaw them out for quick ceviche or just sear them in garlic butter for an upscale dinner in five minutes."
"Absolutely love that these are individually frozen. I can pull out three pieces to toss into my morning ramen or miso soup. The flavor is clean, sweet, and has zero fishy odor. Will definitely keep this permanently stocked in my freezer."
