The U.S. scallop fishing season for 2023-2024 is under close observation, with New Bedford expected to handle 63% of the total catch. Prices for large scallops (U-12) have risen significantly, while prices for smaller sizes (U-30) have been more volatile. The New England Fishery Management Council predicts a higher catch for the 2024-2025 season. Despite concerns about fewer large-size catches and higher prices, the market dynamics may change as the Bering Sea fishing season resumes, potentially driving up prices for small and medium-sized scallops. Overall, the market is seeing high prices for large scallops and fluctuating prices for smaller ones.
