Wild Edibles Seafood Update

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

Shellfish has be running amazing so far this month, we have been thrilled with the quality of items like: scallops in the shell, live urchin, nantucket bay scallops, peconic bay scallops, and, east coast oysters.  All of which are available for your menus this week.  Seems the cold waters have truely been producing some amazing products.  Cheers to the fisherman that brave the friged water!!!  Another gem are razor clams, their small to medium sized and flinch to the touch.  Stone crab claws made a breif appearence which gets us excited for possible availabilty leading into next week.  We will keep you posted on that.

 

We have brought in some sustainably harvested farmed fish this week as try to shift some focus to fisheries who are actually doing some responsible farming.  The word "farm" can get a bad connotation but responsible farmers are allowing use to satisify our craving for certian species while not hurting the wild population.  Farming does create some enviormental issues so we strive to find companies that are taking these issues seriously.  One of these farms is http://www.openblueseafarms.com/ in Panama, they have sent us some lovely cobia sized 7-10lbs.  Give this fish a try and lets talk about what you think.  Another farm that we have been using is http://www.sterlingwhitehalibut.com/theproduct, this farm brings us Halibut.  Farmed Halibut is a good alternative to shift away from the depleated East Coast stocks of wild fish.  Give us a call and lets talk sustainablity...
