12.7.11

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,
 
It's another gloomy day outside.  At least it's not cold.  Excellent items arrived today with more great stuff scheduled to come in tonight.  We have a 475 pound Swordfish from the Gulf of Mexico that arrived this morning.  I'm going to repeat that.  We have a 475 pound Swordfish!  It's roughly the size of my couch.  Head off and gutted Wild Coho Salmon from British Columbia came in again and looks great.  They are about 10 pounds each.  Local 3 to 5 pound John Dory is available today.  We are set to receive some Farmed Icelandic Halibut tonight.  They are going to be between 10 and 20 pounds each. 
 
We are set to receive a big delivery from Florida tonight.  It's going to be one jam packed truck with Red Grouper which will probably be between 5 and 10 pounds.  The truck is also going to have Red Snapper of all sizes, fresh 16/20 Shrimp and Large Stone Crab Claws.
 
Whelks from Long Island made a surprise appearance today.  Razor Clams from Maine are also available.  U/10 Scallops are finally available again for the weekend.  We have some in today from Massachusetts and are getting more in tomorrow.  Beautiful 10/20 Scallops keep pouring in from Cape May, NJ.
 
We got in some wonderful items from Central and South America.  Ecuadorian Escolar finally made it back.  They're about 10 pounds each.  Farm raised Cobia from Panama looks fantastic at 7 pounds per piece.  Chile sent us lovely 3/4 Turbot today and we are set to receive Panamanian Mahi Mahi overnight. 
 
Don't forget that tomorrow is our weekly delivery of Sardines.  They come to us directly from Portugal and are always terrific quality.

Have a great day.
