It remains unclear if scallop prices will firm heading into 2023, as consumers say no to 'high-priced proteins'

'Last year, prices were silly. That’s not happening this year,' said one scallop executive of the current market.

Scallop prices were historically high in 2021 and early 2022. That is not the case this holiday season and likely won't be in 2023 as consumers are on the hunt for discounts and have a recessionary mindset.
