In Disney Dreamlight Valley, there are two kinds of aquatic life that can be obtained. The first kind are fish, which can be found in every single biome that is in the game. Then there's seafood, which consists of shellfish like lobsters and shrimp. Odd word choice aside, aquatic life classified as seafood is also unique in that not all of it is caught from bodies of water.

This is the case for clams, oysters, and scallops. The method may be different from fishing, but this guide will show Disney Dreamlight Valley players how they can get some scallops.

How to Find Scallops

Scallops can only be found in one biome, and that biome is Dazzle Beach. Rather than fishing for scallops, Disney Dreamlight Valley players must roam around Dazzle Beach and look for scallops.

Like picking up seashells at the beach, scallops can be obtained by picking up blue shells like the ones in the picture above. Unfortunately, this means that they cannot be farmed like seaweed, as eventually, players will run out of shells to pick up. Fortunately, shells do gradually respawn, so Disney Dreamlight Valley players can just go do other things, and eventually, more shells will be available.

Can Companions Help Get More Scallops?

Unfortunately, Disney Dreamlight Valley players cannot bring their favorite Disney characters along to help gather bonus scallops. Since scallops are not caught with a fishing rod, companions with the Fishing Role will not be able to help. Even companions with the Foraging Role are not able to help provide bonus scallops. It is unclear if this is intended or if it is a bug, but at this time, companions cannot help with scallops.

Can Scallops Be Obtained From Moana's Boat?

After completing the quest to fix Moana's Boat, Disney Dreamlight Valley players will be able to get free fish. The amount of fish obtained and the length of time between pick-ups can be decreased, but unfortunately, scallops can't be obtained this way. Players will need to explore Dazzle Beach and see if any more scallops have spawned.

What are Scallops Used For?

Scallops are used for cooking. There are many recipes where scallops can be used, especially in recipes where it just requires any kind of shellfish. A good example of this would be Bouillabaisse. This five-star recipe can be made with scallops or any other kind of shellfish, though using at least one shrimp is mandatory for the recipe to work.

The various Disney characters that live in the Village will also occasionally have scallops be one of their daily favorite items. So Disney Dreamlight Valley players may want to stock up on a few scallops in case they need them for a recipe or as a gift.

Disney Dreamlight Valley is available now on Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
