Meet the Catch: Alaska Weathervane Scallops

Posted by Joci Besecker on

If you’re searching for premium, wild-caught scallops with unbeatable flavor and sustainability, look no further than our Wild Alaska Weathervane Scallops, available all year long at Premier Catch. Harvested from the cold, pristine waters of Alaska, these scallops are a chef favorite and a must cook at home.

What Are Weathervane Scallops?

Weathervane scallops are the largest wild scallop species in North America, known for their naturally sweet flavor, firm texture, and exceptional quality. Ours are:

  • Wild-caught in Alaska

  • Dry-packed (never soaked in preservatives or phosphates)

  • Flash-frozen at sea for peak freshness

  • Sustainably harvested by small-boat fishermen we know and trust

Unlike many scallops on the market, our Weathervane scallops are 100% natural and never treated—so you get pure flavor, firm texture, and better searing every time.

Sourced from Alaska’s Pristine Waters

Our Weathervane scallops are sourced from federally managed waters off the coast of Alaska, a region known for having some of the most sustainable seafood practices in the world. The Alaska scallop fishery operates with strict harvest limits, independent observers on board, and a commitment to environmental responsibility.

When you buy wild scallops online from Premier Catch, you're not just getting incredible quality, you're supporting a clean, traceable, and ethical seafood supply chain rooted in the Pacific Northwest.

Why Choose Dry-Pack Scallops?

Most grocery store scallops are “wet-packed,” meaning they’re soaked in water and additives that dilute flavor and reduce searing quality. Our dry-pack Alaska scallops are never treated, giving you:

  • A beautiful golden-brown crust when seared

  • Naturally rich, sweet flavor

  • Higher yield (no water loss during cooking)

These are the scallops that restaurants use - and now you can enjoy them at home.

Cooking Ideas for Wild Alaska Scallops

Weathervane scallops are versatile, fast-cooking, and perfect for both weeknight meals and elevated dinners. Here are some ideas to get started:

  • Pan-seared scallops with garlic brown butter and lemon

  • Scallop pasta with white wine, cherry tomatoes, and fresh herbs

  • Grilled scallops on skewers with vegetables

  • Seared scallops over risotto or creamy cauliflower puree
