Wild Edibles Newsletter 5-7-2013

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,





Today we have Fresh Frog legs from Florida. Frog legs are high in protein and low in fat. It has the consistency of a whitefish but taste like delicate chicken. It is perfect for frying or throwing on the grill.





We also have imported sepia from Portugal. Sepia Also known as cuttlefish is actually not a fish but a mollask. It is also called the sea chameleon because of its ability to rapidly change color. It is found in the areas of the English Channel, the west coast of Africa and in the Mediterranean sea.




Red Grouper is also in the house from Florida. Red Grouper is a member of the sea bass family and are found in tropical and warm temperate waters worldwide. Due to their preferred habit around coral, groupers are primarily accessible by hook and line.




We also have locally caught Sea Trout (aka Weakfish) in house today. This fish is caught mostly in shallow waters. Contrary to its name it is not related to the trout family, but of the drum family. Seatrout primarly feeds on shrimp and other crustaceans. As it gets older it shifts towards fish and the bigger the fish the better.



Wild Stripe Bass season has opened up in Virigina and we are starting to see some big fish.Last but not least we have soft shell crabs in from the Carolina’s. we are now starting to see all sizes and the season seems to be in full swing.
