Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,
Our friend Thor from Iceland has sent us down some truly amazing Cod today. The fish is caught using gill nets which don't damage the fish. Gill nets are a safe way of catching fish that can be regulated by mesh size, gill nets reduce bycatch and do a good job of specifically targeting species. The Cod we received are brought onto the boats alive where the fisherman gut and bleed them out. They are then packed directly into box where during travel they go through rigor; they arrive to us stiff as could be. This morning we all hovered over a box of this Icelandic cod in awe like "The Goonies" who just found one eyed Willie's treasure.
Starting from the north we have some monk liver, tile fish from Montauk, local sword markers are rumored to be on the way, with some Florida escolar and some pristine strawberry grouper. We have King klip from Chile, Chilean turbot, and, some awesome east coast halibut. Pacific corvina is a good buy as is Mahi this week. Let's not forget to give us fair warning on any large Restaurant week orders.
Wild striped bass price is rising and we have had an issue finding large scallops.
"Go as far as you can see; when you get there, you'll be able to see farther."
