Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

Good news is as temperatures come down fisherman are headed out to sea and bringing in nice catch.  We reeled in some beautiful Maine shrimp, what was once in question for the week has arrived so take advantage while you can. Local fish to note are: Tile from Maryland, silver dory from Long island,  Fluke from Greenport LI, Maine sardines that are in rigor, stonebass from NC, and, wild striped bass. 

 

Lobster availability are tight and prices have gone up.  The story is that about half the lobster license holders in Nova Scotia  and parts of Maine have filed for replacement tags for lost gear.  Seems high winds and rough seas caused them to lose catch and equipment .  In Florida, the cold weather and gusty winds have cut stone crab landings in the middle of peak holiday season demand, our outlook on stones looks bleak for the weekend.   Dover sole should arrive tonight as log jams at the airports begin to clear. 

Others worth noting: Escolar, 16/20 fresh shrimp, red drum, sturgeon, and red grouper.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

The blizzard has left us all digging out and wondering the state of fish for this week.  Yes flights have been bumped and certain items will not be available, but we are searching for more fish each minute.  We have a bevy of imported and domestic fish for your week and New Years holiday.  We managed to pull in some striped bass, cod, halibut, fluke, Florida grouper today. Confirmation on some beautiful stonebass is in and the fish is due in tomorrow.  We are told Dover sole should be arriving tomorrow. Fresh 16/20 Florida shrimp arrived today is great shape, it flew in with a new batch of sturgeon that is a good choice. 

 

We will know the status of other fish as we hear it today, please give us a call with questions regarding fish this week.  Please bear with us, this blizzard has really thrown us for a loop and we are planning our rebound out as we find out what's available. 

 

Organic Salmon is out till Friday, as is Turbo for the week...

Merry Christmas Chefs and Buyers,

 

To usher in the Holiday we have some festive fish for your plates today.  Local Fluke is running amazing, these plump guys are running really well, full of meat and, stiff as a board.  Golden Tile fish is a great choice as the fish are running about 5-7lbs and are uber fresh.  Carolina Head on mahi is due in for arrival tomorrow, as is some Caribbean escolar as called white tuna.  Jumbo black seabass is really running really well right now as well.

 

Maine sardines arrived today, but unfortunately a storm in the cape has shut down the Nantucket Bay scallop fisherman for the weekend.  Sweet Maine shrimp are also proving to be a problem. 

 

 

Wild Edibles will be closed Saturday for Christmas, if you have Friday orders please make sure they are in early as we will shutting down early for the holiday.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

Today we have landed some really amazing hook and line dayboat Haddock, fairly priced this cod-like fish is a prize for tacos or fish and chips.  Local Long Island Fluke is running sushi grade, sounds like perfect crudo to us!!!!  Large tile fish are a great buy right now  running at a friendly price for large 20 lb fish. 

 

Nantucket bay scallops are hard to find today as weather has effected fisherman in the Cape.  Caviar is running at its peak right now so if you want some please give us a call we have whatever you may desire.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

The rumors are true we have a boat load of Tuna due in tomorrow, the lunar cycles and the full moon have had there effect on the tuna catches.  Tuna has not been around for the last few days but we are excited to say that we will have some for the reminder of the week.  We do have some beautiful Maine shrimp that arrived in today, with them were some wonderful razor clams.  Golden tile fish are really nice they are large around 20-25 lbs.  Today we have a sword special 9.95 all cuts!!!!!!!!!!! \

Opah landed in great condition, we also have some large Florida red grouper.

Wild Edibles Seafood update

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

Today wonderful specials arrived as the Christmas holiday nears.  We have some pristine Boston mackerel that arrived in this morning.  Mahi-mahi price has dropped ending weeks of high prices.  We have some amazing swordfish markers, Nantucket's are running beautiful, as are the Florida stone crab claws.  We did bring in a few racks of opah today to add a little Hawaiian flavor to this holiday week.  Local dory continues to be a winner as the squid fisherman are bringing us a ton of this local delight.  Give this fish a try today you wont be disappointed.

 

As the Christmas holiday approaches we are dealing with seasonal price increases for certain items.  Lobster and salmon prices have shot up as has the demand so we are experiencing  higher prices that should alleviate as the new year begins.  The bad news is tuna has been elusive as of late, good fish has proved hard to find and the outlook is sketchy for the rest of the week.  Rumor has it we are getting a shipment of tuna Wednesday. 

 

Running well fight now is local fluke, cod, halibut, and tile fish.

Wild Edibles Seafood Update

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

Today we have some unreal southern fish, we pulled a one pound snapper out of the mouth of a 20 lb Florida Black grouper, this grouper was so fresh it didn't have a chance to finish its last meal.  These fish are stiff as a board with rocket red gills that make you say wow!!!  American red snapper came in today with the same quality.  Tile fish is another amazing fish today, running a little small but stellar quality.  We have some large local Conger ells for those of you who dig them.  Sardines, sardines, sardines!!!!!!!!!  We brought in some unreal imported sardines, they are chubby little guys that are firm and sweet.  We are letting out our well kept secret of Maine Sardines, these little guys are a tad smaller then the imported counterparts.  But they are pristine!!!  Trust us on this one you will not be disappointed.  Florida octopus is back for the second time this week so grab your fresh octo now. 

 

Tuna continues to be a problem going into the weekend, prices are up availability is down.  Wild striped bass is running really amazing as is east coast halibut, prices are up on both.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

Today we are feeling the lack of available Tuna, we spoke about it yesterday and it seems that the fish is still hard to find.  We pulled in some number one's but supply remains tight for the rest of the week.  Halibut is gleaming but our price is up about due to availability.  We did bring in some more red drum fish as the last batch flew out of here.  Live sea urchin is available and running really nice we even saw some great west coast live urchin.  Scallops in the shell look really stellar as the Massachusetts scallop fisherman are bringing them in with record numbers.  Black fish landed in today and our supplier said this is the last we will see till spring so get it while you can. 

 

We have some really great pacific corvina, monk, jumbo fluke, and, tile fish.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

Local silver dory seems to be of abundance the last few weeks, this Montauk squid fisherman's bycatch is a great choice for a local sustainable option.  We have brought in some Virginia Red Drum fish for your eating pleasure.  Maine rock crabs continue to be a good source of sweet Jonah like crab meat so give this one a try.  Maine has sent us more live sea scallops in the shell with a shipment of sweet roe filled sea urchin.  We have a shipment of Italian anchovies due in tomorrow so get your orders in cause they rocket out of here.  Fresh Octopus is a solid choice for those looking for a change from the frozen product. 

 

Halibut is in house and it is gorgeous dayboat east coast Canadian fish, we pulled a sword marker in that is screaming of freshness with a deep red bloodline and a firm flesh.  Price on both those fish are up considerable.  We had no Tuna today and expect tuna to be a pain for the next few days as rough seas and frigid temps have cut fishing trips early with lack luster catch.

Today we have some real treasures arriving in, from Maine we have some live sea urchin, still moving the roe is candy sweet.  From the same supplier are live sea scallops in the shell, still moving and ready to comp down on your finger.  Also in from Florida are fresh octopus from Florida sized 2-4lbs.  We are having a sturgeon party, the fish have been stunning so we brought more due to popular demand.  Try some of this out today and you will not be disappointed.  Maine rock crabs round out our shipment from Maine and these baby Jonah like crab have sweet meat and a sweet price. 

 

Golden tile is running really amazing as are the striped bass for the south.  Halibut has been tight, we expect a shipment in tomorrow but expect the price to be high.

Wild Edibles Seafood Update

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

The North Carolina stone bass or wreckfish has arrive a second time this week and the fish is remarkably fresh, lollipop red gills and firm flesh this fish is a great sustainable option.  Tile fish came in today from the same fishery and is of the same quality.  Florida red grouper is running superb today around 10-20lb fish. 

 

Concerns over the sustainability of East Coast halibut have lead us searching for a eco-friendly solution to the demand for this fish.  We have found a farmed raised east coast fish that although is not 100% sustainable is making huge strides in developing a better east coast halibut alternative.  The Sterling White farm in Norway has sent us some truly nice head on halibut check out the information on the farm and a picture taken this morning, http://www.sterlingwhitehalibut.com/theproduct/about-the-product.

 

Weather has proved to be quite a pain this week, gale force winds have prevented catches up the seaboard.  Cold weather has stopped the Nantucket scallop fisherman from going out as the red flag has been waived twice already this week.  Wind is to blame for the lack of Maine shrimp today, tomorrow we will see.  Fish will be tight going into this weekend so we ask that you give us your order Friday to assure your fish order.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

Today we brought in some sustainable farm raised sturgeon, these fish are around 10-20lbs with the head on.  From Florida we have some Pink snappers or Florida seabreams due to arrive on Thursday.  Batches of Florida Stone crab claws have been running exceptional as of late and we believe it will continue to be a great season.  Maine shrimp is worth a note as we get fresh shipments daily from the pine tree state.  We also have some Maine razor clams and some really nice Maine rock crabs coming in tonight. 

 

Both halibut and striped bass remain tight this week as supply is tight.  Please give us a call if you need these two fish.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

North Carolina outer banks have landed us some great catch this week.  We have brought in some large stone bass that is really amazing.  Also landed from the same fishery are some wonderful red drum fish.  Our opah or moonfish racks are truly awesome... They are bright with color and firm.  Maine shrimp is a good idea for a menu change because the season lasts till April and supplies should be plentiful.  We have seen some large sea scallops in the shell that are so alive they might chomp down on your finger, try these out while they last. 

 

Wild Striped Bass looks tight for the rest of the week with meager catches in the Chesapeake have caused supply to be a tad short.  Halibut also looks a little tight for the rest of the week. 

 

We do have some razor clams, tile, large monk, fluke, Nantucket bay scallops, local dory, turbot, and, dayboat cod.

Today is an exciting day, we brought in some wonderful specials to start the week out.  Moonfish racks have arrived from Hawaii and are bright colors and popping with freshness.  Tomorrow we expect some north Carolina stone bass a.k.a wreckfish to arrive from a small vendor that is known for quality.  Sweet Maine shrimp are here and are beautiful, bright blue roe sacks and gleaming with freshness.  Local john dory has been around as of late, so have stone crab claws. 

 

We did not have any Halibut, supply remains tight so if you need this fish please think of a sub.  We may have some later in the week but the price is up.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

So the rumor from yesterday is untrue our shipment of sweet Maine shrimp was delayed a few days due to the gale force winds that we experienced here in New York yesterday.  Boats went out but stayed out at sea as the storm passed.  We expect some in this weekend but the season should be in full swing by next week.  Cobia is the fish of the day, this wild Florida fish is looking beautiful sized 10-30lbs this fish gets a " good choice" by blue ocean institute on sustainability.  Corvina might not be as sustainable but the quality is ideal and we have plenty of fish to go around.   

 

THE GOOD NEWS!!!!!!!

- Tuna price is easing.

- Stripe bass is at a friendly price

- Fluke is coming down

- Nantucket's are looking glorious

 

Also looking hot and available: sturgeon, tile, skate, black seabass, and, sweet big monk tails.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

Today marks the opening of the Maine Atlantic shrimp season and the rumors is true!!!!!!!!! The sweet Maine shrimp (pandalus borealis) will be arriving on Thursday.  For those of you who forgot what this little delicacy is all about here is a reminder, they are sized about 41/50, are delicate with a tender delicate flavor.  These are a real local seasonal treat for those of you looking for a sustainable seasonal product.  Please call us with orders because the bum rush will be heavy and we want to fill all your needs.  On the local seasonal subject we also have some gorgeous live sea scallops in the shell. 

 

Price of Long Island fluke has dropped, the quality is exceptional and it seems that catches are endless.  We brought in some large Conger eels just to add a little spice to our week, attached is a picture.  Tile fish is looking great this week, Nantucket's are running really nice, local john dory is around, and, wild striped bass has dropped.

WILD EDIBLES SEAFOOD UPDATE

Good Monday Morning Chefs and Buyers,

Our friends from the eastern coast of Florida sent us some spot on Pompano (Trachinotus carolinus).  The Pompano's flesh is on the oily side and looks white and opaque with a rich but mild flavor.  Some speckled sea trout arrived in this morning from the North Carolina.  Virtually the same as the sea trout, this southern weakfish is not around all that often so please give it a try.  Local John Dory is showing up this week in really nice shape. 

 

We have received a shipment of beautiful scorpion fish and New Zealand seabreams or pink snapper.  Chilean Turbo is a good menu choice because the fish is stellar and available on a regular basis.  Wild Striped bass looks like it will come down in price as landings in Maryland and Delaware are up.  We pulled in a ridiculous double marker, this swordfish is absolutely perfect.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

Today we reeled in gorgeous gray tile from the outer banks North Carolina, this fish is super firm with bright red gills.  This sweet tasting fish is similar to the tautag which seems to be hiding this week.  Chilean Turbot has arrived for the week and is brimming with meaty flesh.  Local John Dory has showed its face this week, sized 2-5lbs the filets portion out perfectly.  We have found a great new supplier of west coast uni, this product is sweet tasting and now the availability is much easier to work with.  Nantucket bay scallops are really looking great about now, sweet in flavor this could be a great treat for the Thanksgiving holiday. 

 

The price of wild striped bass is beginning to come down a bit as we start to pull in larger fish from Delaware.  Hopefully this trend continues.  Halibut price is up and we don't see and signs of it easing in the immediate future.  Tuna is and has been an issue for the last two weeks or so.  Fish are proving hard to find driving costs way up.  We expect tuna to remain high for the upcoming week or so until a large haul of Atlantic fish is brought in to drive the price down. 

 

We also have: New Zealand pink snapper, Grouper, stone crab claws, escolar, and, black seabass.

The local John Dory is a cousin to its Australian counterpart, a white firm flesh that is a tad delicate with a sweet flavor.  This bycatch is a true delicacy when available, jump on this fish quick because we will not have it for very long.  We have some golden tile from the grand banks, trigger fish from Florida, and, black grouper.  We got a shipment from our friends down under of Scorpion fish and New Zealand pink snappers.  The sizing on stripe bass seems to be getting a little larger which helps the yield percentage.  We are pulling in 10-14 lb fish from Maryland and some local fish as well. 

 

Wild Edibles will be closed Thursday for Thanksgiving. We will reopen for normal Friday deliveries.

Unfortunately we were hit with some market shortages this week.  Swordfish and tuna boats have been hauling in lackluster catches, supply remains tight on number 2 and swordfish moving into the weekend.  We received a shipment of halibut from the west coast this morning, the season has ended meaning the fish will be very tight moving forward. 

 

Good news is we got some NJ black bass that is stone cold ridiculous, the fish showed up in rigor but the price is up.  We have some great golden tile from NC, and some escolar that is very firm and oily.  Today we are having a weekend special on Grouper for $5.50 a lb.  Florida snappers are very pretty this week, catches on the eastern end of Florida are yielding great fish.  Sardines landed from Portugal absolutely shining and smelling like a breeze off the European Atlantic.

Today we have sourced some local John Dory, this fish is gleaming and is well priced for food cost.  Golden Tile has arrived from the outer banks with cherry red gills, the fish are sized 3-8 lbs.  Massachusetts Monk liver look great for all you liver fans.  Fresh Italian anchovies landed today, larger than whitebait but smaller than sardines these little guys are a real Mediterranean treat.  We have received a shipment of gorgeous east coast halibut, the fish is pricey but in rigor quality.  Tuna continues to be tight, we have had number 1's but 2's remains tight. Rumor is that we have some Florida trigger fish arriving tonight, jump on that cause it wont last.  Wreckfish are here, try this grouper like fish for something local and eco-friendly. 

 

Also in the house: Blackfish, grouper, Nantucket bay scallops, turbot, corvina, and, sone crab claws.

It seems to us that Blackfish are back for this week, we have brought in some R.I. tautog for your eating pleasure.  From just due north we have some Monk liver for those looking for something different.  Back by popular demand are the Maine rock crab, this little buggers have large claws full of succulent sweet meat.  North Carolina has endowed us with some sustainable stonebass or wreckfish that is firm, has bright red gills, and, of course a monster head.  Scorpion fish is a real treat this week from Australia.  Halibut has proved very difficult to source this week as the west coast has dried up and the east yet to produce much product.  Our next shipment of Halibut is due in Thursday but price will be up. 

Other specialties include: Nantucket bay scallops, Stone crab claws, grouper, wild striped bass, turbot, and, bluenose bass.

Today's fish arrived looking stellar as always, we got a shipment from New Zealand that was really exquisite.  The Australian Bluenose Bass is a sustainable seabass found in the Pacific and Indian oceans, mainly off New Zealand and south Australia.

The flesh is firm textured, medium colored, turns opaque when cooked. Bluenose meat is moist and succulent, similar to grouper.  We brought in some more Baja scorpion fish because it was such a hit last week we had to give it another shot. 

 

On a more local note we have found some tile, wild striped bass, wreckfish, black drum, Nantucket bay scallops, and, stonecrab claws.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

Today we have brought in some American Green Eels, we are aware that they are a tad unsustainable but they are still alive and ready to be peeled.  This local green eel has a firm white flesh that is mild tasting.  Give it a try because we hardly ever bring it in.  On a greener note we have some really nice long line local albacore tuna, pale in flesh and perfect for the grill.  We tracked down some black drum fish from New Jersey, moderate in flavor this fish is a prize particularly for southern anglers.  The flesh is perfect for sauté or broiling, black drum has a low oil content.        

 

We have had some issues with Lobsters for the weekend, High winds up the coast have effected the fisherman as the coast guard urged boats not to go out.  This has effected items like tautag, tile, and, squid.  We will be able to source some of these products but prices might be effected.

The Nantucket bay scallop is truly the nectar of this small island.  When the summer crowds leave with sweaters tied around  their necks, the scallop fisherman prepare for what they have been waiting on for 200 days.  These are truly gems of the "local seasonal sustainable" cuisine.  A perfect combination of texture and sweetness, this scallop can be eaten raw or lightly sautéed to perfection.  Larger than an average bay scallop (30-40 per lb) Nantucket's have opened the season producing a truly stellar product.  Although the price has remained high to start the season we are beginning to see an ease as of late. As the season progresses this New England prize will become a more affordable option for your menus.  While we talk about scallops we should mention the live 10-20 sea scallops from NJ that arrived in the Shell today.  We have pulled in some delicious little whitebait that's great for a quick fry.   

 

Striped bass are arriving in two sizes, 5-8lbs and monsters 25-30lbs, they are running a bit high in price this week but the quality makes up for it.  Red Drum landed from North Carolina, Wellfleet oysters are due in tomorrow, as are more sardines.

Wild Edibles Seafood Update

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

Today we would like to respond to the issue being raised regarding the abundance of small scallops.  Sea scallop surveys are finding a drop in biomass in the mid-Atlantic states, in large part due to the now-depleted status of the Elephant Trunk Area of New Jersey and Delaware as well as a overall depletion in the region in general.  This area is responsible for the bulk amount of our nation's scallops.  A true U-10 scallop can take up to 7 years to reach their desired size.  Due to fishing practices of dredging many areas have been closed to allow stocks to recover. 

 

In fishing news lately New England Fisherman have been outraged at federal regulators for overstating different fishing "crisis".  Regulators have set strict guidelines and catch limits for species that may not be in danger according to fisherman.  At the heart of this argument are the scallop beds off of Georges Banks.  Scallop fisherman have been itching to get there hands on these bed's that have been closed since 1994.  Further enraging fisherman this week was a study released by researchers from the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth regarding the Georges Bank.  The study found that scallops have grown "to fat" and are dying because of overcrowding.  Stocks have grown back and are falling victim to fisherman's inability to harvest.  This highlights the need for federal regulators to reexamine fishing quotas, especially in the east coast.  We wanted to stress that across the eastern seaboard true u-10 scallops are proving harder to get, Hopefully in upcoming months we will see some new regulations and more abundant scallops. 

 

We have some great Wild Striped Bass, Portuguese Sardines, East Coast Halibut, North Carolina Swordfish, Pacific Escolar, and Wahoo.

Wild Edibles Seafood Update

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

Today we have something special for you.  We reeled in some Baja Scorpion fish (Scorpaena)  from the pacific, caught by long line this bottom feeding fish is a true delicacy.  A mild tasting white fish this "little poker" is not a fish we see regularly, jump on this before it is gone...

 

Nantucket bay Scallop price is starting to come back down to reasonable levels, we should see the price hold if not continue to sink. Blackfish has arrived again, this time hailing from the Boston area.  Our shipment of Turbo is arriving tonight, if you use Turbot please let us know how much you will need as we can adjust our orders accordingly.  We have some stellar Opah racks, beautiful pink snapper, and, wahoo.  Medium sized stone claws arrived and are sweet and delicious.

Wild Edibles Seafood Update

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

Once considered bait-robbing pests by lobster fishermen the Atlantic rock crab are now a valuable bycatch that is considered a Maine delicacy.  We have roped in some rock crab from a Lobsterman in Maine, resembling a "baby dungeness" these crabs make a sweet weekend treat.  The claw and leg meat from rock crab is pink with a sweet, delicate flavor, honestly the meat is quite similar to Dungeness.  Wait did we mention the best part??? There only $2.95!!!!  Check out the picture attached of a rock next to a dungeness.

We most give a shout out to the fisheries up in Boston.  Ladies and gentleman you truly out did yourself this time.  We were shipped some of the finest Monk, Cod, and, Mackerel.  We saw some glistening monk tails of all sizes, and, some head on cod that is super firm, filled with blood, and, simply awesome.  Check out the picture attached. 

New Zealand pink snapper are a bream that needs attention, we have a brand new shipment waiting to be plated.  Opah is another bright shining fish that needs to be paid attention to.  Others of note are some dayboat Gray Tile fish from N.C., New England Mackerel, Dayboat Long Line Halibut and Swordfish.  Geer up folks we have some insane fish for Saturday and SUNDAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers, 

 

Landing today from the outer bays of North Carolina are Red Drum fish (Sciaenops ocellatus).  This Cousin to the Black Drum is anglers prize and is not sought out for commercial fishing.  As a bycatch the Red Drum is a good sustainable alternative having little oil and a mild flavor.  Just like it's debut on Iron Chef this fish can by your weekends secret ingredient.  Today we have pulled in some true Nantucket Bay Scallops, this gem was born and raised in the chilly waters of ACK are a seasonal blessing so please take advantage.  Local Blackfish have been a surprise over the last month.  Quantities have been plentiful and quality has been ideal.  We have tracked down some true U-10 scallops from the deep blue waters of Maine. 

 

Our friends in the Pacific has shipped us some beautiful Opah again!!!  We have been thrilled with the quality of this fishery who has sent us New Zealand pink snapper, Coastal Australian Wahoo, and, long line Opah.   

 

We also have Razor Clams, Sardines, Corvina, Black Bass, and, Wild Striped Bass.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

From due east and north we have sourced some great fish for you this Tuesday.  From our friends in Boston we have gotten some truly amazing Monk fish tails.  We have sizes ranging from 2 lbs. up to 6lbs.  In from Greenport L.I. are some 7-12 lb Wild Striped Bass, this local fish has bright red gills and firm flesh.  This price is up on bass but the quality remains stellar.  News from Nantucket is the vast majority of bay scallop beds are open and producing some a remarkable product.  We should start to see some arriving for the weekend with price starting high and slowly creeping back down.  East coast halibut has arrived and seems to be feeding well this season.  These fish are a tad bit chubbier than normal leading to a larger, thicker fillet.  We also have some smaller Alaskan Halibut for a bit more sustainable touch.    

 

Our tuna special is still active with number one's at $11.50, and 2+ at $9.50.  

 

Just a reminder that Wild Edibles will be open for deliveries on Sunday's, place your order at night as usual and we shall deliver the following day between 9am-2pm.

Trick or Treat from Wild Edibles

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

We have no tricks for you be we certainly have some treats.  We have brought in some wonderful fish from far away lands.  The Moonfish we got today are beautiful bright colored racks glowing with luau energy. Opah is not a targeted species but is a bycatch of tuna fisheries, we are getting our fish from longline fisherman making this product a good sustainable alternative.  Lightly flavored this fish lends it self greatly to your sauté or grill station.  From the same fishery we have some New Zealand Pink snappers, this bream looked truly amazing this morning so please grab some while you can.  We are bringing in some really beautiful Chilean Turbot, a flat sole like fish.  Turbot has a bright white flesh that retains its appearance when cooked. 

 

Now for a more local touch, we have some stellar Boston Mackerel still in rigor.  Florida Cobia has been around for the last few weeks making a good option.  Florida Red Grouper is coming from the keys and is sized 5-10 lbs.  Florida Wahoo has also been available as off late.  We pulled in a 60 lb Mako Shark that came off a Sword boat that landing in Barnegat, NJ.     

 

Striped Bass has been steady as of late with Maryland tags sized 5-8lbs and 10-12lbs.  We also have some great gray tile fish from N.C.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

We have tracked down some gorgeous Wild Striped Bass direct from some friends in the Chesapeake, these Maryland tagged fish are running about 6-14lbs.  Availability seems to be getting better although the price did climb up a bit.  We have pulled in a number of nice Swordfish and are offering a center cut special at $6.95, for these local fish.  We have some great Wreckfish available, that is not only sustainable but also delicious.  Thursday we have another shipment from New Zealand coming in of New Zealand Pink Snappers and Opah.  Also in today are some beautiful little fresh Anchovies from Italy, this little guys are in very limited supply so call us about them because they go fast.  The same goes for the 40lbs of Razor clams that arrived today. 

 

Just a reminder that Wild Edibles is now OPEN SUNDAY, deliveries will be made to your restaurants between 9-2 but we ask that your restaurant be open before 2pm, if not your product will be available for pick up at our 36th street location.  Last week went great and we will continue to bring in great products for your Sunday deliveries.

Wild Edibles Seafood Update

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

Today a monster double marker came in from a dayboat landing in Barnegat NJ, this fish weighs 325 lbs and is in ideal condition.  Price on this Sword is coming down so take a cut of this fish because its a true treat.  Another treat that came in is some sustainable North Carolina Stone Bass or Wreckfish, these fish are around 20 lbs.  Florida Cobia keeps showing up with rocket red gills and stiff as a board, if you want a something different give this a try.  Gray Tile from NC arrive with the Stone Bass and is a sweet flavored bottom borrowing fish.  Tautag is a staple as of late and we have some delicious Black fish for your week menu.  Triggerfish is another darling that is a southern staple and needs your approval to make this treat more recognizable up here, It is one of our personal favorites. 

 

Also available are corvina, Jumbo Black Bass, Wild Striped Bass, Mahi Mahi, Wild Coho Salmon, and, Beautiful Monk.

Wild Edibles Seafood Update

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

Sunday deliveries went swimmingly, for all of you who were unaware, Wild Edibles will be bailing out all of you who need Sunday deliveries.  That being said we have some great specials today, we went a little long on swordfish so we are offering Sword at 9.95 today.  We were short on Wild Striped Bass today, this happens when the price gets down below $3.50 or so.  Fisherman can't afford to fish for Bass when the price is down, they don't even break even because the price they are getting at market doesn't cover their expenses.  In response they dry up the market a little to raise the price of fish, while demand is high.  This seems to be happening today, we were promised fish direct from some friends in Maryland so we will have fish for tomorrow. 

 

We have brought in some stellar Halibut from both the east and west coast, east coast fish is significantly more expensive so please specify which fish you want.  We brought in some Triggerfish from some friends on the Florida Coast.  This crustacean feeding fish has a sweet flavor, and is sized 3-lbs..  Also similar in flavor is the Blackfish, we have some Long Island tautag landing in response to the lack of bass.  Wahoo has been a regular as of late, and some fresh Wild Cobia showed up this morning begging to be consumed.  Pacific Corvina is back by popular demand so try the West Coast version of wild striped bass while the east coast fish is in short supply.

Wild Edibles Seafood Update

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

Today we have some spectacular fish, but before divulging into that we would like to vent some of our frustrations regarding the difficulty's in the shrimp market.  Shrimp prices have been rising to unseen levels as of late, this has effected both yours and our bottom line.  US consumption of shrimp is around 6 million metric tons annually because of this we are left looking too foreign countries to help meet demand.  Domestic shrimp does not come close to meeting the domestic demand.  With the tragedy in the Gulf and disease plaguing the Latin American shrimp farms we are ever more dependant on our Asian sources.  China's growing wealth means the country is reducing imports to keep up with its internal growing demand.  Vietnam is one of the top suppliers but has some issues regarding premature harvesting.  It seems shrimp farmers in order to take advantage of increased market price harvested early not realizing prices would soar even higher.  This has set production back months on large white shrimp.  Asia continues to help us fill this void but we do expect pricing to rise higher in the upcoming months.  We will keep you up to date on shrimp prices and issues as we hear them.  

 

That being said and done, lets move on to our spectacular fish.  Apparently the shipment from our friends in New Zealand took a first class plane ride to NYC.  The fish showed up truly gleaming, it had us surrounding the pallet in awe at beauty of this far away fish.  Opah racks are of unseen quality, I challenge anyone to find Moonfish this nice on the Eastern Seaboard.  New Zealand John Dory is plump, silvery, and ready to be devoured.  The pink Snappers match the quality of its travel companions.  Sustainable West Coast Halibut just arrived firm, slimy, and smelling delicious.  The price is down so please take advantage. 

 

Also in the house: NC Cobia, Florida Wahoo, Corvina at 4.75, In rigor Pollack, Mahi, and, Maryland Striped Bass.   

 

 

AS OF SUNDAY OCTOBER 24TH WILD EDIBLES WILL BE OPEN SUNDAY'S FOR ALL MANHATTAN CLIENTS.  PLEASE CALL US AT 718-433-4321 FOR DETAILS.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

Wow is the word of the day.  We have some fish in the house that is truly breath taking.  We brought in some more Blackfish covered in slime and super firm.  We also were clamoring about some Pollack this morning that was in rigor and looked as if it was still alive.  Same goes for some North Carolina Cobia that we reeled in.  This fish was bustling with fire engine red gills and as firm as could be.  From the same boats we are receiving some Florida Amberjack on Thursday.  Some of the sustainable Sturgeon landed today and is also a beautiful option. 

 

We are bringing in a large shipment from New Zealand for delivery on Friday, Pink Snappers, Hawaiian Opah, and, NZ John

Dory are all expected for arrival on Thursday.   Pacific Corvina is in and we got a great deal we are moving it out for 4.75 so it makes a great option for your food costs.  Striped Bass has taking a small jump up, but the price is still down.  Mahi Mahi remains a good option for a low cost alternative as well.

Wild Edibles Seafood Update

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

Today we have brought in some great hook and line Dayboat Haddock from some friends in Glouster.  Haddock has a clean white flesh and can be cooked in the same ways as cod.  Haddock rates yellow on the sustainability charts meaning it is a good alternative, populations that were once overfished have rebounded and the outlook for the species looks good.   A tad cheaper than Cod this fish would make a great addition to your local themed menus.  We have brought in some Weakfish or Seatrout due to the high praise we received from everyone last week.  Another local specialty is some bycatch Black fish. 

 

Striped Bass remains a great choice as fish are coming in from the Chesapeake and Long Island and prices remain low.  Mahi price has come down as a surge in local fish has brought foreign prices down.  Pricing on Dover Sole is beginning to ease and the outlook looks good for further decline in price.  We have to shipments of Dover Sole each week, Mondays and Thursdays, please give us advanced notice if you want any Dover Sole. 

 

Also available: Turbot, Cobia, Dayboat Monk, Dayboat Cod, Corvina, Coho Salmon, and, Black Seabass.

Wild Edibles Seafood Update

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

Monday has found us some wonderful fish up from some friends in the south.  We have brought in some beautiful Florida Amberjacks about 20lbs a fish.  Also in the house is Wild North Carolina Cobia, sized 10-20lbs.  Our first shot of Stone Claws arrived and if this batch is any indication on how the season is going to go then we are really in for a treat because these claws were delicious.  Last of our southern friends is the Florida Wahoo, we brought in one stellar 100lb fish. 

 

News on the Striped Bass front has found pricing inching up, we are still remaining low but the volume of fish showing up at market was less then expected.  We should see the price hold for the week but with this roller coaster fish no one can tell.  We will keep you informed on what happing with the price as the week goes on. 

 

Also available today are: Local John Dory, Coho Salmon, Black Bass, Turbot, and, Mahi Mahi.

Wild Edibles Seafood Update

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

Today we have a wide array of sea creatures to bring to you.  From Maine we have live Sea Urchin, crack these spiny puppies open and enjoy the roe.  Live Scallops in the shell also arrived from Maine, sized 10-20 we see this product every so often so enjoy them while they are around.  Some north Atlantic Whitebait arrived in this am and the little guys were still jumping around, fry these delights up for an added pleasure. 

 

On to the good news, the opening of Wild Striped Bass season in North Carolina, Virginia, and, Maryland have brought prices plunging down.  Local fish is available at dirt cheap prices, this fish is a MUST buy this time a year.  Jump on the bass train while it steams through with pristine fish at friendly prices.  All leg crab meat is back and shouldn't be a problem moving forward.

 

Now the bad news, Swordfish catches are showing up to the docks weak and this is driving up the price.  Prices on sword will be substantially higher this weekend.      

 

Its a little long but a good quote-

    

Watch your thoughts, they become your beliefs.

Watch your beliefs, they become your words.

Watch your words, they become your actions.

Watch your actions, they become your habits.

Watch your habits, they become your character.

 Habits are those actions that get us through our day without a whole lot of conscious thought on our part.  It's our habits, those actions that flow from our thoughts, beliefs and words that distinguish winners from everyone else. Dostoevsky wrote, 'It seems as though the second half of a man's is made of nothing but the habits he accumulated in the first half."

Where do our habits come from? The principal building block of habits are beliefs. A belief is your conviction that something is true and you are in the "Belief Business."  It is the quality of your beliefs,

"This is the kind of person that I am," that determines your habits, which in turn, determine your character.

Beliefs are formed by self-talk.  With this  self-talk, you are constantly evaluating in a positive or negative manner what is going on around you. Your focus is not on what is actually happening around you (the truth) but what you think is happening, as you believe it to be.  Over time this self-talk accumulates into a positive or negative opinion of yourself and your situation. This belief and opinion will subsequently be reflected in your words, actions, habits and ultimately your character.

Of course beliefs are only as good as the self-talk that created them. (Garbage in- garbage out) but good or bad, beliefs are the springboard for your words, actions, habits and ultimately your success.

 Vince Lombardi

Be well,
