• Bay Scallops: Smaller, usually around an inch in diameter, and have a softer texture.

Flavor Profile

• Weathervane Scallops: Known for their rich, buttery flavor with a hint of sweetness.
• Bay Scallops: Tend to be sweeter but are not as complex in flavor.

Habitat

• Weathervane Scallops: Primarily found in the cold waters of the North Pacific, particularly Alaska.
• Bay Scallops: Usually harvested from the Atlantic coast and the Gulf of Mexico.

Sustainability
