12.5.11 update

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,
 
Hopefully the warm temperatures will bring in the crowds.  We have great items available today.  Wild King and Wild Coho Salmon showed up this morning.  They are both around 10 pounds each with the head off and already gutted.  This will get you a great yield.  They are coming in from British Columbia.  Keep in mind that they are bycatch, so we don't know about the availability to come.  After getting cleaned out over the weekend, we got in some beautiful Tuna and Swordfish overnight.
 
Long Island Wild Striped Bass is still looking great and coming to us daily.  My buyer says New York is starting to run out of tags for the fish. This means availability can become an issue.  East Coast Halibut is available, but the price has gone up.  We are trying to find more farmed Halibut from Norway.  Beautiful Dayboat Monkfish tails are here.  They came in from Boston.  Also from Boston, 3 to 5 pound Blackfish arrived today and are super fresh. 
 
We managed to track down some U/12 Scallops today.  They're from Massachusetts.  We aren't sure how availability looks in the days to come, so we have lots of 10/20 Dayboat Scallops from New jersey to help cover the difference.  Nantucket Bay Scallops keep coming in and look terrific.
 
Florida sent us some lovely Golden Tilefish.  They are weighing in between 7 and 9 pounds each.  Large Stone Crab Claws, also from Florida made an appearance this morning and are fresh as always.
 
On this day in 1933, the 21st Amendment to the Constitution was passed and ratified, ending national Prohibition.

Have a great day.
