Don’s Gulf Select, LLC is a producer of high-quality scallops from Mexico.  The company takes an active role working with both state and federal agencies to assist with the safe use and protection of the resources and promotion of environmental awareness.  Every effort is made not to harm or endanger marine life or the delicate ecosystem from which the scallops are harvested. All of Don's Gulf Select scallops are diver-caught and hand-shucked.  

Don's Gulf Select has worked together with the Mexican National Fisheries Department (INAPESCA) in managing a sustainable fishery for the bays in Baja California. The Mexican bay scallop fishery is regulated by a federal law established in 1993 that set a minimum size limit of 60 mm shell length.  This law also prohibits harvesting these scallops during the spawning season, December 15 – March 31, and specifies that the National Fisheries Institute (Instituto Nacional de Pesca, INAPESCA) is responsible for performing surveys and stock management, setting quotas based on stock assessments, and distributing geographically specified permits that are required in order to continue the practice of sustainable harvest. Don's Gulf Select supports sustainable management of the fishery so the company can continue to provide customers with high-quality scallop products.
