Wild Edibles Seafood Update

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

Questions have arose regarding the future of skate, Skate catches have be tight, restrictions on catch sizes have been implemented on any catches within 5 miles of shore.  Catches outside that zone are prohibited, fish have migrated out to sea and are not expected back till November.  Quotas have been dropped to 500lbs per boat, a significant decline in the amount of fish permitted to be caught.  With this new policy expect skate to be a little tight over the upcoming weeks and months.  Arriving in from Virginia are some large Red Drum fish, a limited amount of some local bycatch Blackfish showed up still breathing they were so fresh.  Another bycatch arriving in was some Mako Shark, caught on the same line as swordfish, Mako are a firm meaty fish similar to the likes of Sword.  Also arriving tonight is Escolar.    

 

Some other beauties we have are 4-6lb Arctic Char, Pacific Black Grouper, monster Golden Tile, Black Seabass, Long Island Striped Bass, Swordfish, and, beautiful market Cod,
