Scallop Market Update 2021

Every year Bristol Seafood publishes a Scallop Market Fact Book before the start of the North Atlantic Sea Scallop fishery season. It has been part of our commitment to partnership and transparency and is a key way we support our customers’ growth. Bristol believes that the more our customers and we know about the market, the better we can navigate it together.

This year has seen record-high scallop prices, incredible spikes in demand, and logistical challenges like we have not experienced before. For the first time, we have published a mid-season Scallop Market Update. One-half of the season is in the books, and given how unique 2021 has been thus far, we felt our partners would benefit from a closer look. We share what has happened so far compared to the previous outlook and take a deep dive into volume, pricing, and import trends, all to help our customers position their scallop programs for a successful winter and spring.
