Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,
Today we want to spotlight the local guy. The Pemaquid Mussel Farm in Maine was once known as a local "townie" company that produced a superb product in the waters of the Damariscotta River. Formed by a bunch of "ex" mussel farmers who lost their jobs at Great Eastern mussel farm, an idea of forming their own independent company came to fruition. Together a small group of them joined forces and began production of a rope cultured mussel that rivals the bouchot, and dwarfs the PEI. In business since 2007 Pemaquid has been known to us for over a year and when their mussels are available we jump on them. The mussels are plumper than PEI, with a sweet flavor and milder taste. Many Chefs we've encountered say they are some of the best they have tasted. Buying this product you are contributing to the livelihoods of independent Maine fisherman.
Nantucket's are as sweet as ever, we ate a few raw this AM and if we were able we would have eaten them all... For those who have noticed, our dry u-10 scallops have been remarkable. Domestic sardines arrived today and are in rigor as usual. Stone Crab Claws, Stone Crab Claws, Stone Crab Claws!!!!! Please take our word for it; they are sustainable and delicious. We brought in some Canadian east coast halibut that is super firm and slimy. Tile fish is a gem that can't be ignored.
