Wild Edibles Newsletter 8-20-2013

Good Morning Chef’s and Buyers,

Today we have East Coast Halibut from Nova
Scotia. Halibut is distinguished by its Flat Shape
and Strange appearance due to the appearance
of its eyes. On the right side when the Atlantic
Halibut changes from larva to fish, its eyes are
initially located on each side of its head.
However, during its first year of life, its body’s
morphology undergoes a major change
whereby its left eye migrates towards the right
side of its head, it then swims with its blind side
facing the sea bottom.

Today we have Razor Clams in the house. The
Atlantic Razor Clams also known as the bamboo
clam or the American Jackknife clam is a large
species of edible marine bivalve mollusk, found
on the North Atlantic Coast, from Canada to
South Carolina as well as in Europe.





Beautiful Sockeye Salmon, richly textured and
highly flavorful, Sockeyes are the Second
fattiest and they have the added benefit of
having the firmest texture of all Pacific Salmon.





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.
