Wild Edibles Newsletter 5-22-2013

Good Morning chefs and buyers,


Today we have amazing turbot in from Spain. Turbot can be found in European waters from the Mediterranean and the North Sea to Iceland and Normandy. Turbot has white meat and a firm texture. Turbot is best prepared simply. The idea is to accent, and not mask its delicate flavor.



Opah racks landed at J.F.K. from Hawaii this morning. Long line Tuna fishermen snag these beauties from time to time during their short trips in the deep waters of the south Pacific making them a wonderful special to offer this week . Before Opah became commercially viable , Opah was thought of as a good luck sign by fishermen and given away to friends as a way to pass the good fortune along.

Tomorrow we will also have Golden Tilefish from the Carolina’s. Tilefish are usually found in sandy areas, especially around coral reefs. Generally shallow-water fish, tilefish are found at depths of 50-200 meters in both temperate and tropical waters. Tilefish is a mild tasting white fish that mostly feed on shrimp and crab and its sweet flavor is similar to crab or lobster.



Also in house we have beautiful black cod, or sablefish, which is long-line caught in the deep, cold, clean waters of Alaska. The best fish are harvested in the summer and fall when the fish feed heavily on crab and squid building up oil reserves.



Other specials in house are local jumbo black sea bass. Also Swordfish and Mahi will be coming in overnight to the warehouse as well.
