Wild Edibles Seafood Update

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

Today we reeled in gorgeous gray tile from the outer banks North Carolina, this fish is super firm with bright red gills.  This sweet tasting fish is similar to the tautag which seems to be hiding this week.  Chilean Turbot has arrived for the week and is brimming with meaty flesh.  Local John Dory has showed its face this week, sized 2-5lbs the filets portion out perfectly.  We have found a great new supplier of west coast uni, this product is sweet tasting and now the availability is much easier to work with.  Nantucket bay scallops are really looking great about now, sweet in flavor this could be a great treat for the Thanksgiving holiday. 

 

The price of wild striped bass is beginning to come down a bit as we start to pull in larger fish from Delaware.  Hopefully this trend continues.  Halibut price is up and we don't see and signs of it easing in the immediate future.  Tuna is and has been an issue for the last two weeks or so.  Fish are proving hard to find driving costs way up.  We expect tuna to remain high for the upcoming week or so until a large haul of Atlantic fish is brought in to drive the price down. 

 

We also have: New Zealand pink snapper, Grouper, stone crab claws, escolar, and, black seabass.

"Food should be fun."

Bye for now,
