Wild Edibles Seafood Update

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

Golden spotted tilefish out of our backyard here in Montauk is looking truly remarkable.  For those unfamiliar with tilefish jump on board this delicious tasting local treat.  Tile is a bottom dwelling burrowing fish that can grow up to 60 pounds.  Tilefish has firm, pinkish white flesh that provides almost a lobster or crab-like taste. The fish once cooked, has a mild-flavored and succulent meat which remains very moist after cooking; therefore, it is often baked, poached, or broiled.  Tilefish is rated as a "good alternative" on the seafood watch list.  Tilefish comes from either North Carolina but currently Montauk has outmatched them for largest tilefish port in the east.  Give tile a shot and we promise you will not be disappointed. 

Another great Montauk landing is mako shark, we landed a nice 80lb fish that loined out great.  Down from the bays of Maine and north Massachusetts are live sea urchin and sea scallops.  Chilean Turbot is back and is looking stellar, this meaty cousin to the fluke is really a great option for your specials menu.  Wild stripe bass tagged from Maryland are a stellar buy right now with large 15+ fish around with smaller 8-12 pound fish also available.  Now seems to be the time for Skate wings, we are receiving some really nice large wings from the Vineyard and New Bedford ports.  Jumbo black seabass is also a stellar fish that round out the amazing catch we are receiving from up north.  

Mahi-mahi is a great buy for your portion costs this week so please take advantage...  

 

"It's that moment for men to put that stamp on who they're supposed to be, who everybody thought they could be. This is that time. There comes those moments where you've got to rise to that challenge. This is the one. This is the present game, the one that counts the most." Dennis Byrd to the New York Football JETS!!!!

Have a good weekend,

 

PS. GO GANG GREEN, GOOD LUCK THIS WEEKEND. J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!!!!!!!
