I love scallops in every which way (especially raw)… I saw these at my little (not Asian) suburban Chicago grocery store today and I am tempted to try them… Especially for the price!!
I put the only text through a translator, and I cannot tell if I am supposed to cook them or if they are ready to eat once defrosted. The only text on the back was the USDA calorie chart.
I am not a fan of salmon (I am weird, I know??), but the salmon looks sort of seared, so maybe I'm just supposed to defrost and eat.
Any thoughts on this apprecaited. Would you risk trying it?

You can use the camera option on google translate to read it, it says:
Delicious seafood bowl
Carefully selected domestic materials
Seafood bowl with scallops
Delicate sweetness and flavorful
Jewel of the Sea: Hokkaido Scallops
*Please defrost under running water before eating.
I’d assume you eat raw over rice once thawed and rinsed
Yes they are ready to eat. There’s a note on the left hand side saying just to “thaw under running water before eating”.
As these are for seafood donburi (海鮮丼/kaisendon) they are typically eaten raw. Same story for the salmon and roe
These are for making kaisendon so you would defrost in the fridge and serve as depicted in the label image. FYI, the salmon is freezer burnt not seared.
This is for kaisendon (raw fish over rice) and is packaged in the exact arrangement it’s supposed to be kept in. It says “thaw under running water before serving.”
So yeah, thaw it in the package as directed, then slide it over a bowl of rice. Keep the arrangement.
What IS this place that has extremely well -priced frozen sashimi???
Depends how much you trust your grocer?
I don’t know about scallops, but would HIGHLY RECOMMEND staying far away from frozen raw oysters.
It was life threatening for me.
What store is this?
My uncle is a scallop dragger and eats scallops raw. I think if you are brave just thaw and eat. If you are nervous can’t hurt to pan fry in butter.
It looks like just sliced stuff but not a complete dish. It’s a major component but you would still need to make a final dish.
