Wild Edibles Newsletter 7-18-2013

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,


In the warehouse today is locally caught John Dory. This fish gets its prey by stalking other fish. It usually eats cuttlefish, squid, sardines and schooling fish. Its firm textured white flesh is moist and flaky with a low fat content.





Beautiful Opah in House today, 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.





Wild King Salmon from California in house today. It’s the largetst of the 5 salmon species. The fish are prized for their red meat, rich flavor, high oil content and firm texture.




We have Black Fish from Virginia. Black fish also known by its Native American name Tautog is found from Nova Scotia to South Carolina. They prefer Structured Habitat and are frequently found near piers. Black Fish have a relatively firm white meat, which makes it ideal for a variety of preparation methods including fish stews and chowders.




“I love fishing, you put that line in the water and you don’t know what’s on the other end. Your imagination is under there.”
-Robert Altman
