Sea scallops are mostly North American stars, harvested from the cold Atlantic waters off Canada and New England. They’re the reliable locals you see at your fish market—often called “diver scallops” if they’re hand-harvested.
Patagonian scallops are the globetrotters. They come from the chilly, pristine waters off southern Argentina and Chile, near the tip of South America. Imagine a scallop that grew up in Patagonia, wearing a tiny poncho and watching glaciers. That’s the vibe. And because they swim in colder water, they grow slower, which means more intense flavor packed into every bite.
