🐚 Scallops Suppliers in Yorkshire

Yorkshire plays a significant role in the UK scallop industry, particularly for King Scallops (Pecten maximus) and Queen Scallops (Aequipecten opercularis). While not a primary dredging ground, Yorkshire's coastal towns like Scarborough and Whitby serve as crucial landing and distribution points for scallops caught in nearby North Sea waters. The region's established seafood infrastructure and proximity to major markets make it a key hub for fresh scallop supply.

Yorkshire boasts robust seafood processing capabilities, with companies like Hodgson Fish in Hartlepool (serving the wider North East and Yorkshire) handling significant volumes of scallops. Key ports such as Scarborough and Whitby facilitate landings, with much of the product then distributed to restaurants and retailers across the UK. The scallop trade contributes to local employment in fishing, processing, and logistics, solidifying Yorkshire's position in the national seafood supply chain.
