5.22.12

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,
 
Hopefully the lousy weather isn't scaring off too many customers.  It is doing a number on fishing grounds up and down the east coast.  We still managed to get our hands on some wonderful items this morning.  Dayboat Cod from New England is here.  We are still hoping to bring in some Icelandic Cod to help with the high price.  But so far, we haven't had any luck.  Flounder looks great coming out of George's Bank.  Fluke tends to dry up this time of year and the bad weather sure isn't helping matters.  Jumbo Black Sea Bass prices are down again!  Enjoy them now.  This is the best time of year for these fish and unfortunately, the price tends to get so low that fishermen stop going after them and they vanish.
 
Maine Lobster prices are finally showing signs of coming down.  They are down a bit today and we expect a larger drop in the weeks to come.  Local Sword and Tuna both look great today.  We also have Bigeye Tuna from Hawaii coming in tonight.  Wahoo from South America is here and more is available.  The fish we brought in is quite large.  We will happily cut you whatever size you need.  Grey Tilefish from Virginia is available this morning.  They average around 6 pounds.
 
Beautiful Dayboat 10/20 and U/10 Scallops keep coming in every morning from Barnegat Bay, New Jersey.  East Coast Canadian Dayboat Halibut that range from 10 to 40 pounds are in today.  We are also seeing our first glimpses of Copper River Sockeye Salmon.  They are around 7 pounds each.  The price is high now, but it should come down as soon as the fish become more available.

Have a great day.
