Product Overview
Fresh products are marketed (with or without the shell) for domestic and foreign markets, and frozen products are packed using Individual Quick Freezing (IQF) technology (vacuum-sealed polystyrene bags) for export (5- lb per package). There are significant differences in consumer preferences within the different target export markets. For example, the Japanese market consumes the entire scallop (mantle, adductor muscle or “corn” and gonads or “coral”), the European market consumes only parts of the scallop (corn and coral), while the United States market consumes only the adductor muscle.

Origin
Shore-based divers harvest wild scallops off the shores of the southern Chile.
Two species of scallops are produced in Chile, Chlamys patagonica (in the south) and Argopecten purpuratus (in the north). Isla del Rey harvests the Chlamys patagoinica southern variety. Patagonian Sea Scallops are protected from harvest between September 1 - January 31.
