Fixe Fish Scallops are a customer favorite, but Fish Fixe Scallops with lemon and garlic, an even bigger favorite. They are wild-caught, cold water North Atlantic sea scallops and graded, rinsed and blast frozen within days of harvest. Our scallops are “dry” meaning they have never been treated with any chemicals or preservatives.

The dryness of the scallops enable a firm, sweet texture to sear perfectly, retaining the moisture of the scallop and help to prevent overcooking.
