Most bay scallops on the market are wild, but the product we receive from New Brunswick is farmed. They begin their lives in a hatchery. Once they have reached sufficient size, the scallops are transferred to floating bags in an intertidal zone where the water is warm and the wave action is less violent as they are sensitive to that. In total, it takes about a year for these live in shell bay scallops to reach market size.
