I was going to wait after trying a few more items from here before writing a review, but I'm just too excited!
You guys, Alaskan Salmon Company is a hidden gem that I wish I learned about much, much earlier. It's a seafood wholesaler that usually supplies to restaurants, and it turns out that restaurants have been getting better quality seafood than we were able to find in grocery stores.
We ordered two pounds of Canadian salmon and two pounds of what is just described as "jumbo scallops" but ended up being these beautiful U-8 scallops. (I weighed them after drying them off, and there were seven in a pound.)
The salmon was fresh and we turned it into a delicious meal with little effort, but can we just talk about the scallops some more? While it wasn't indicated whether they were wet or dry, I think they may be dry scallops. Prior to cooking, the scallops had a pinkish hue. I didn't have to do much to draw the moisture out before searing, and the sear turned out perfectly. In addition, my husband said that the scallops reminded him of ice cream because it had a sweet and creamy taste to it.
This local business is now at the top of our list of seafood. We're already putting together another order for more salmon, the tuna poke cubes, and...you guessed it. Scallops.
