Wild Edibles Seafood Update

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

The end of August brings some sad news for the seafood industry.  Soft shell crabs which have been running nice all summer seem to be coming to the end of their season.  Crabs are going to be spotty from here on out.  News out of the North Atlantic brings rumors of a major increase in the price of Wild Striped Bass.  Massachusetts who was produce record levels of fish has exceeded its quota for the year and has ended its season.  This leaves us on the hunt for fish from our friends in the south.  We should see some fish landing from N.C., V.A., and, MD.  Time will tell where the fish will land but we can tell you Bass price will take a serious jump. 

 

Better news comes from Alaskan where we are landing great fish, Wild Kings and Wild Coho's landings remain strong with premiere fish.  East Coast Halibut is truly a fish that demands respect showing up in picturesque form.  For a truly sustainable option we have brought in some more farmed Barramundi.  West Coast oysters arriving in today are Evening Coves, and Malispinas both from British Columbia.  Bad news from friends at another west coast oyster farm tells us warming waters have closed the production of Royal Myagi, Cortez, and, Skookum beds.  We will bring in some different verities of west coast oysters so stay tuned for those. 

 

Also in the house are Boston and Spanish Mackeral, Snapper, Grouper, Char, Sturgeon, and, Monk.
