Wild Edibles Seafood Update

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

Good news is as temperatures come down fisherman are headed out to sea and bringing in nice catch.  We reeled in some beautiful Maine shrimp, what was once in question for the week has arrived so take advantage while you can. Local fish to note are: Tile from Maryland, silver dory from Long island,  Fluke from Greenport LI, Maine sardines that are in rigor, stonebass from NC, and, wild striped bass. 

 

Lobster availability are tight and prices have gone up.  The story is that about half the lobster license holders in Nova Scotia  and parts of Maine have filed for replacement tags for lost gear.  Seems high winds and rough seas caused them to lose catch and equipment .  In Florida, the cold weather and gusty winds have cut stone crab landings in the middle of peak holiday season demand, our outlook on stones looks bleak for the weekend.   Dover sole should arrive tonight as log jams at the airports begin to clear. 

Others worth noting: Escolar, 16/20 fresh shrimp, red drum, sturgeon, and red grouper.

 

It wouldn't be New Year's if I didn't have regrets.
