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.

Be well,

Wild Edibles Seafood Update

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

Back by popular demands is the Ocean Trout or Weakfish, this fish is a real Atlantic treasure.  The state fish of Delaware, the Weakfish is a icon for well managed catch. Weakfish face more issues in its natural environment then the fear of overfishing.  The fish brought to us are regulated extremely well and gives a great option for those looking to go local.  The size of the fish range from 4-7 lbs on average.  Also in from the south are small Gray Tile Fish, 3-7lbs this is a good affordable option for a sweet white fleshed fish.  Swordfish price is taking a jump, fish have been hard to find, with boats returning home with bleak catches. 

 

One another note, we are judging interest in a new sustainable product out of South America, the Paiche is a tropical freshwater species native to the Amazon River Basin.  Paiche are raised in freshwater earthen ponds in Northeast Peru. This way, surrounding wild rivers and lagoons can remain protected while Paiche can still grow in their natural habitat.  Paiche is a firm white meat with a subtle, elegant flavor and texture. Combine all the best elements of Chilean sea bass, black cod, john dory and Atlantic cod, and you will have Rainforest Paiche.  Check out the picture attached and let us know if you have any interest in this fish. 

 

Also available are: Local Black Fish, Mahi Mahi, Steelhead Trout, Chilean Turbo, Wild Stripe Bass, Halibut, Black Seabass, and, Dayboat Cod.

Wild Edibles Seafood Update

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

Last night was a rough night, the weather may affect weekend catches we will keep you informed on any major changes.  Good news is that Wild Striped Bass is starting to nose dive in price, the addition of some southern fish have brought the price down.  Currently we are landing local fish from Montauk and fish from the Chesapeake Bay have been plentiful and the quality is awesome.  Black Seabass is beginning to inch down as we are receiving some fish from Mass tom morning.  Mahi Mahi price is falling as well, fish are sized 10-20 lbs of gleaming colorful freshness. 

 

We have landed a great catch of Blackfish from some Dayboaters in Rhode Island, Tautog's diet of crustaceans create a deliciously sweet flavored fish.  Wild Coho Salmon is still running, please take advantage of this will we still have it in the house.  We also have some Small Tasmanian Ocean Trout or Steelhead in from Ireland.  A shipment of Chilean Turbot landed this morning and are in rigor form. 

 

On a sour note, Cod and Monk have taken a jump in price, catches are down do to government restriction in the New England area on catch size.  We are unsure how long this problem will last but we are watching it closely.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

Happy Columbus Day, on this holiday we are hard at work finding you stellar fish for your week.  Today we have brought in some Coho Salmon from Alaska, and some Irish farm raised Steelhead trout.  We have brought in some monster Escolar, the fish where about 60lbs each, and looking really nice.  Striped Bass price is starting to ease back down as the weekend  weather proved beneficial to the fisherman. 

 

Tomorrow we will be getting a new batch of the Chilean Turbo, this fish is in season now and showing up plump and juicy.   Weather has effected the production of Maine All Leg meat, we have out for the last few days, we were informed today that production has begun again and we should see some new product arriving Wednesday night. 

 

Other items include:  Mahi-Mahi, Uni, Swordfish, Hiramasa, and, Black Seabass.

Today we need to brag about the South Carolina 16/20 shrimp.  This shrimp is very pretty coming with the head off with a great white color.  If you haven't tried these please test them out and get back to us with thoughts, we know you will love them.  We also just got a shipment of Coho Salmon that are looking great.  At this point in the season any nice Wild Salmon is a gift.  The Sword boats have caught some great Markers out on the Atlantic this week.  We receive some stellar markers and pups that are in impeccable shape with the price dropping down.  Sword Fish is a great buy this week if your looking for a good balance of quality and price. 

 

Other note worthies are: Novs Scotia Halibut, Mahi Mahi, Massachusetts Black Bass, Wild Striped Bass, and, Uni.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

Today we have some local treats, Weakfish or Sea Trout has arrived from a friend in New Jersey.  We also have a limited amount of Maine Razor Clams coming in tonight.  Also Arriving tomorrow are some Turbot from Chile, sized 2-4 these fish are a beauty. 

 

Our local 16/20 fresh shrimp from South Carolina are worth a mention, they showed up pristine white, and, are an excellent buy.  Halibut has been running great as of late, though the price is up the quality of the fish is truly amazing.  Wild Stripe Bass continues to be tight, we have had fish but the price is very high.  We are waiting for arrivals fro the south to increase the size of the fish and bring the price down.  We will keep you updated when that occurs. 

 

Corvina is looking great, as is Black Sea, Steamer Clams are around, as are Taylor bay Scallops.
