JETRO struggles to expand scallop supply chain in U.S.
The Japan External Trade Organization, or JETRO, struggles to build a new supply chain for Japanese scallops in the United States that involves processing in Mexico, people familiar with the matter said Sunday. Steep tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump left prospects for the project uncertain, apparently making businesses reluctant to invest in it. The United States previously imported Japanese scallops after processing in China, which was their main export destination. But Beijing imposed a ban on imports of Japanese fisheries products in August 2023, when Japan's crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant started releasing into the ocean treated water containing small amounts of tritium. In 2023, Japan's scallop exports dropped 24% from the previous year to ¥68.9 billion. JETRO then planned to build an alternative supply chain using Ensenada, northwestern Mexico, as a new location for scallop processing. In March 2024, officials from 14 Japanese companies, including processors in Hokkaido and Miyagi Prefecture, visited there. The new supply chain in which scallops are processed in Ensenada and exported to the West Coast was set to be established in 2024. But the project has faced a headwind since Trump's return to the White House earlier this year. The U.S. president has imposed high tariffs on imports from Mexico over illegal migrants from the country. In addition, poor catches of scallops amid the global warming have added to the uncertainty. In June this year, China announced it would lift its ban on Japanese fishery products. While this was good news for Japanese fishermen, relying on China as an export destination may be a risk, amid fears of a deterioration in Japan-China relations. "Processing in Mexico is a still option," a JETRO official said.

$1.1 million worth of scallop meat seized, person arrested in southwest Nova Scotia
Scallops are caught in the net aboard the trawler Le Chant des Sirenes (The Mermaids' song), fishing at the limits of the French-UK waters, off Granville, Normandy, Tuesday, Nov.9, 2021. (AP Photo/Nicolas Garriga) Fisheries and Oceans Canada officers arrested one person in southwest Nova Scotia Tuesday after officers seized 22,638 kilograms (49,795 pounds) of scallop meat, worth about $1.1 million. The department says fishery officers from the Barrington detachment first detected the fishing vessel using a Vessel Monitoring System, before dispatching an offshore surveillance unit to visually confirm the vessel was fishing illegally in the closed area. 'Fishery officers boarded the vessel at sea and seized the catch. The un-shucked scallops on board were returned live to the ocean, and the captain was directed to take the vessel to Shelburne where the rest of the catch was offloaded,' reads a news release from Fisheries and Oceans Canada. The department says the unnamed person was arrested for violations under the Fisheries Act, including fishing in a closed area – Scallop Fishing Area 29 D. The incident is under investigation.

Pan-fried scallops with broad bean purée and herb relish
Scallops are one of my favourite shellfish, whether cooked or raw. A truly fresh scallop should be slightly off-white in colour and dry to the touch. For the best quality, buy them in the shell and shuck them yourself, or ask your fishmonger to do it in front of you so you know exactly what you're getting. Overview Prep time 20 mins Cook time 10 mins Serves 4 Ingredients 12 medium scallops, shucked, cleaned, and the bottom halves of the shells kept and washed (to use for serving) For the relish 1 small onion or 2 shallots, finely chopped 1 tbsp cider vinegar 300g broad beans (shelled weight) 2 tbsp olive or rapeseed oil, plus extra for brushing 2 large tomatoes, quartered, seeds removed and finely chopped 1 medium chilli, finely chopped, seeds and all 1 tbsp roughly chopped coriander

Champagne, carpaccio and some football: my day in Fulham's posh stand
I sit down, holding a glass of Veuve Clicquot. The Thames shimmers below. A smiling waiter appears with a tray of plump scallops. They are warm and unctuous, so I have several. If I wanted, I could have had 30, but there is delicate sea bream on the next tray. Then I wolf down a plate of rare roast beef, only to realise it was venison. Silly me. The only beef is carpaccio. And so it continues until my belly hurts so that walking the 20ft to my seat to watch Fulham take on Everton on Saturday feels a blessed relief. You cannot take your champagne with you to watch the football, thank goodness, or I might have toppled down the tiers of the new
