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.

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.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

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.

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.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

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.
