9.5.12

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

Hopefully the remnants of the hurricane that found us won't scare away diners.  Wild Striped Bass is looking good.  The quality is great and we are seeing a good number of fish coming out of New York and Maryland.  Gorgeous 2 to 4 pound Blackfish came in from Boston this morning.  Local Dory and Bluefish also look sharp.

 

Wild King Salmon arrived from California this morning.  The fish average about 13 pounds each.  Wild Coho Salmon are in again from Alaska.  They are catching these fish at the mouth of the river before they have a chance to spawn out.  Halibut from Nova Scotia are weighing between 10 and 40 pounds. 

 

Items from the south are starting to trickle back in.  We aren't seeing nearly the numbers we normally do, but this is still a good sign of a quick recovery for the Gulf region.  Grouper and Red Snapper are available in limited amounts.  Golden Tilefish look great and are quite large at around 12 pounds each.  We got in 16/20 Fresh Gulf Shrimp, but are still waiting on the return of Rock Shrimp.

8.30.12

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

The weekend is fast approaching.  It's time to get those menus ready.  Please note that we are CLOSED MONDAY FOR LABOR DAY (9/3) and will reopen Tuesday (9/4).  Local Wahoo looks fantastic this morning.  We are lucky to be seeing these so many days in a row.  We still aren't finding any #2 Tuna.  The 2+ and #1 we've been getting look great though.  Local Swordfish should continue to be nice through the weekend.  5 pound Monkfish Tails are coming in from Long Island.  More U/10 and 10/20 Scallops from New Jersey are on their way here for the weekend.

 

The effects of Hurricane Isaac are really starting to take hold.  We are expecting to be extremely limited, or completely out of Grouper, Red Snapper, 16/20 Fresh Shrimp, Rock Shrimp and possibly Lump and Jumbo Lump Crabmeat.  Beautiful Escolar from Ecuador showed up this morning.  They are large fish, so we will cut you whatever size piece you need.  Mahi Mahi came in head off and gutted from Panama.  Each fish averages about 10 pounds. 

 

Fresh Squid is tough to come by right now.  When the moon is big, they don't catch squid.  We have plenty of frozen to sub if necessary.  Sardines came in from Portugal and brought fresh Anchovies with them.  Local Whelks are available for the first time in a while too.

 

Day boat Halibut from waters off Nova Scotia, Canada came in again this morning.  These super fresh fish come in with the head already off and weigh anywhere from 10 to 40 pounds.  Wild Coho Salmon are still being caught at the mouth of the river in Alaska.  This means they haven't made it up upstream and aren't spawned out.  We are bringing in more Wild King Salmon from northern California and the price is expected to drop a bit.

8.29.12

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

We will be closed this Monday for Labor Day (9/3).  Please plan accordingly.  We still aren't seeing any #2 Tuna.  We do have Local 2+ and #1 available as well as more Local Swordfish.  Wild Striped Bass catches during New York's season have been disappointing.  Fish are available, but we aren't seeing nearly the numbers Massachusetts was producing.  Local John Dory has been available everyday this week and we expect to see more of these 3 pound beauties as the week goes on. 

 

Gloucester Cod look gorgeous this morning.  They range from 10 to 15 pounds and come in head off and already gutted.  U/10 and 10/20 Scallops are coming in tonight from Barnegat Bay, New Jersey.  These are always wonderful.  Jumbo Black Sea Bass remains consistent in both quality and availability.  The fish average about 3 to 4 pounds and come out of Boston.  East Coast Canadian Halibut are coming in daily and are 10 to 40 pounds.

 

Due to Hurricane Isaac, we are expecting most of our southern items to be tough to come by for a few days.  This will effect Grouper, Red Snapper, Rock Shrimp and 16/20 Fresh Shrimp.  Hopefully this is only temporary.  We will keep you updated as to their availability in the future.  Farm Raised Siberian Sturgeon is available this morning.  They are always great.  Our weekly shot of Sardines from Portugal are on their way here for delivery tomorrow.  Wild King Salmon came in this morning and Coho Salmon will be in tomorrow.  Both come from Alaska.

8.28.12

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

Local Swordfish and Tuna arrived this morning.  The quality of both is great.  Unfortunately, nothing is grading out to #2.  Only #1 and 2+ Tuna are available.  Local Wahoo looks fantastic.  We have about 100 pounds available; so get it while you can.  Spanish Mackerel are nice and average about 3 pounds.  Local Dory is still coming in and are around 3 pounds as well.  U/10 and 10/20 Scallops are excellent.  They are coming out of New Jersey.

 

We are already starting to see the effects of this soon to be hurricane.  No one is fishing in the Gulf of Mexico.  This means that we will not see any 16/20 Fresh Shrimp, Red Snappers, or Rock Shrimp.  We are hoping to get some Grouper from the West Coast.  The last of the Louisiana Lump and Jumbo Lump Crabmeat is en route to us now.  After that, we are going to bring in Maryland Crabmeat. 

 

Panama is sending us more head off and gutted Mahi Mahi.  These fish are always fantastic quality.  We are finally getting in 3/4 Chilean Turbot.  After a delay in shipping, these beauties will be here for delivery tomorrow.  Fire River Oysters are also set to arrive tonight from New Brunswick, Canada.

 

After a no show today, Wild King Salmon is on it's way here now.  Coho Salmon from Alaska is still running strong.  They are catching these fish at the mouth of the river so they don't have a chance to spawn up river yet.  Wild Pike came in from the Great Lakes.  They average about 4 pounds each.

8.27.12

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

It's a new week.  Some nice local items came our way this morning.  Local 3 to 5 pound Sea Trout are here and look great.  Local Dory is back.  The fish range in size from 3 to 5 pounds each.  Wild Striped Bass are coming from Long Island, but the price doesn't appear to be going down.  Tuna remains a problem.  We will have Local fish coming our way Wednesday night and hopefully this shipment will have all grades available. 

 

The storm brewing off the coast is already starting to wreak havoc on the availability of southern items.  This means Snapper, Grouper, Fresh Shrimp, Tilefish and Crabmeat will likely be tough to come by for a few days.  Please plan accordingly and we will keep you updated regarding closures.  Ecuador sent us super fresh Escolar and Wahoo this morning.

 

Wild King Salmon is still looking great.  Coho is available, but we aren't seeing the same numbers we saw last week.  Gloucester Cod prices are coming back down to earth and the fish look really nice.  Black Sea Bass are still running between 3 and 5 pounds each.   Halibut prices are starting to creep up.  The reason for this is that more fish are coming from the West Coast.  More travel equals more money.  The quality of both the East and West Coast fish are flawless.

8.23.12

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

The weekend is fast approaching.  We want to keep you up to date regarding Wild Striped Bass and Tuna.  We brought in some really nice Wild Striped Bass from New York.  They are not cheap.  We aren't sure how much, or if we can get more.  We still recommend leaving a substitute.  Tuna is still a concern.  A few fish showed up this morning.  We are hoping to get more tonight, but it is still going to be very limited.  Please plan accordingly.  Gloucester Cod prices appear to be stabilizing a bit.  The fish look really nice too.  U/10 and 10/20 day boat Scallops are in from New Jersey and should show up again for the weekend.

 

Panama has some wonderful items available.  Head off and gutted 10 to 20 pound Mahi Mahi are a can't miss.  We also have Triple Tail that range from 3 to 5 pounds and farm raised 15 pound Cobia available for pre-orders only. 

 

We will have no Cockles or Manila Clams available this weekend.  Rain has caused closures on Cockles in New Zealand and a heatwave has forced closures on Manila's.  Our weekly delivery of Portuguese Sardines looks wonderful as expected.  Beautiful 16/20 Fresh Gulf Shrimp arrived this morning and look great.  We also have super fresh Lump and Jumbo Lump Crabmeat from our friends in Louisiana.

 

Day boat Halibut from waters off Nova Scotia range from 10 to 40 pounds.  Golden Tilefish is in again from Florida and will make a great substitute should Wild Striped Bass be unavailable.  Gorgeous Coho Salmon came in from Alaska.  They are catching these fish right at the mouth of the river so they aren't spawning yet.

8.21.12

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

The best Wild King Salmon we've seen all year came in this morning.  These flawless head off and gutted fish are in from Washington state and average about 10 pounds.  We also brought in more Coho Salmon.  The quality was lousy when the season first opened, but appears to have turned a corner.  The fish are also head off and gutted and range from 4 to 6 pounds.  Wild Striped Bass remains a problem.  New York season has closed.  This means the only state open is Maryland.  We'll let you know if they start producing.  We still recommend leaving a substitute.

 

Beautiful 10 to 40 pound Halibut from waters off Nova Scotia are here again.  We've been seeing these fish almost everyday and are very happy with them.  A small amount of Blackfish is available.  We recommend ordering these 3 to 5 pound fish in advance.  Cobia is available this morning.  The fish are from North Carolina and weigh about 15 pounds each.  U/10 and 10/20 Scallops are super fresh and are a mix from New Jersey and Massachusetts.

 

Golden Tilefish from Florida look terrific at 8 to 10 pounds each.  Farm raised Siberian Sturgeon continue to look wonderful.  They average about 10 pounds per fish.  Mahi Mahi remains tight and will probably stay that way for a few days.  Please plan accordingly.

8.16.12

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

It's time to finalize your weekend menu.  We want to let you know that Wild Striped Bass is going to be a problem this weekend.  We were cut short on our order today and don't have any confirmed deliveries tonight.  Since Massachusetts closed, New York simply isn't catching enough fish to keep up with demand.  Please leave a substitute and plan accordingly.  Gloucester Cod is back.  They are set to arrive tonight and are always great quality.  Local Escolar looks like a terrific option for a special.  We will cut you whatever size piece you need.  Locally caught Swordfish are incredibly fresh this morning.  U/10 and 10/20 Scallops from New Jersey are set to come in tonight as well.

 

Florida sent us our usual Thursday items.  Red Grouper look sharp and weigh between 5 and 10 pounds.  Red Snapper weighing in from 2 to 8 pounds are nice too.  16/20 Fresh Gulf Shrimp are perfect as always.  We also tracked down some head off and gutted Mahi Mahi from Guatemala.  They range in size from 5 to 15 pounds.

 

Wild King and Wild Sockeye Salmon are both coming out of Alaska.  Big Gray Tilefish are in from North Carolina.  The fish look fantastic.  We got a small amount of Blackfish from Massachusetts.  I would recommend pre-ordering them.  Oysters from both coasts should be in good shape this weekend.  We also got our weekly shot of Portuguese Sardines that are always great.

8.15.12

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

We brought in some wonderful items this morning and have some great stuff coming our way for tomorrow.  Local Wahoo came in today.  The fish average about 20 pounds, but we will cut you whatever size piece you need.  Local Dory is still coming in fairly regularly.  These tend to be hit or miss regarding availability; so grab these 2 to 4 pounders while they last.  Wild Striped Bass is going to be hard to come by for a few days.  New York isn't pulling in as many fish as Massachusetts was and this is driving up the price.  Local 5 pound and up Monkfish Tails look fantastic this morning.

 

Gorgeous Icelandic Day Boat Cod is available.  These fish are flawless and weigh between 10 and 15 pounds and are already gutted with the head off.  Escolar from Ecuador looks great today.  It appears as though Red Snapper is going to be a problem moving forward.  We aren't seeing the same number of fish we normally do.  Wild King and Sockeye Salmon are both coming out of Alaska.  The King's average about 12 pounds and the Sockeye's are smaller at around 6.  East Coast Canadian Day Boat Halibut are flawless and range in size from 10 all the way up to 40 pounds. 

 

Tomorrow is our weekly shot of Sardines from Portugal.  We have the opportunity to get some fresh Sepia and Rouget from Spain tonight.  These are order in advance items only, however.  Whelks came our way from Maine overnight and there should be more available for the rest of the week.

8.13.12

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

It's a new week and we brought in some lovely local items this morning.  We got our hands on some Escolar.  This local fish looks beautiful.  It is huge.  We will cut you whatever size you need.  2 to 4 pound King Whiting is available this morning.  U/10 and 10/20 Scallops are super fresh out of Barnegat Bay, NJ.  Local Swordfish and Tuna arrived this morning.  We managed to track down some #2 Tuna for tomorrow.  The last of the Massachusetts Wild Striped Bass came in this morning and we are bringing in New York fish to make up the difference.  The quality looks sharp and the jump in price is less than we expected.

 

Live Red California Crayfish are on their way here.  We aren't bringing in that much, so please order them in advance.  Beautiful Panamanian Corvina came in this morning.  We also have 3/4 Chilean Turbot that is always excellent.  Mexican Red Grouper was a nice surprise today.  They look fantastic and range in size anywhere from 5 to 10 pounds each.

 

Siberian Sturgeon that is farm raised in Florida is here today.  They are always fantastic quality.  Whitebait came in this morning from the Great Lakes.  Icelandic day boat Cod are here and look amazing as usual.  The fish are head off and gutted and provide a nice break from the expensive fish coming out of New England.  California King Salmon is on it's way here for delivery tomorrow.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

The weekend is almost here.  It's time to get your menu ready.  Massachusetts Wild Striped Bass season is coming to a close.  They are quickly running out of tags.  When it is all said and done, we will be bringing in fish from New York.  The quality should remain the same, but the price is going to go up.  Local Swordfish looks lovely this morning.  Local Tuna looks great too.  Unfortunately, very few fish are grading out to #2 grade.  We have plenty of #1 and 2+ available.  Large head on Cod from Massachusetts is all we're able to get for the weekend.  We have arranged a shipment of day boat Icelandic Cod for Monday morning.

 

Live Scallops in the Shell came in this morning from Maine.  Unfortunately, we are having trouble tracking down U/10 and 10/20 Scallops.  Please order them in advance if possible.  Farm raised King Salmon from New Zealand are a nice substitute for the Wild Salmon that was around this morning.  The quality wasn't up to our standards, so we didn't pick any up.  If the quality remains poor, we won't have any for the weekend.

 

Both east and west coast Oysters should be fine this weekend.  The only concern is Bluepoint's.  Sardines came in today as expected.  These beauties come to us from Portugal and tend to fly out of here.  Maryland and Louisiana sent us super fresh Lump and Jumbo Lump Crabmeat this morning.  Florida came through with stunning Red Grouper that weigh 5 to 10 pounds each.  Red Snapper is available from 2 to 8 pounds.  16/20 Fresh Gulf Shrimp are flawless as always.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

We'll start with the bad news.  Sockeye Salmon season in Alaska is closed.  The good news is Coho Salmon season in Alaska is open.  The fish look great and weigh 7 to 9 pounds with the head off and already gutted.  We got our hands on some 20 to 40 pound Halibut from Alaska.  We also have Halibut from Nova Scotia.  Both are super fresh this morning.

 

Massachusetts is closing Wild Striped Bass season on Wednesday.  New York will still be open, but expect prices to be unstable.  3 to 5 pound Blackfish are in from Massachusetts and look terrific.  Local Bluefish came around this morning.  We should see more of them over the next few days, too.

 

We got in our shipment of 2 to 8 pound Red Snappers from Florida and they look great.  3/4 Turbot came in from Chile and are always nice.  We still can't get our hands on any Uni.  Weather closures have made it impossible until at least Thursday.

 

We are tight on #2 Tuna.  They are nice local fish; we just don't have a lot of them.  If you need #2 Tuna, please order it in advance.  We have plenty of 2+ and 1.  Cape May sent us great U/10 and 10/20 Scallops.  Local Monkfish Tails are nice and big at 5 to 10 pounds each.  We brought in more Local John Dory because what we had yesterday flew out the door.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

It's time to get your weekend menu lined up.  We brought in a lot of great items to help you plan it out.  Wild Striped Bass prices continue to fall.  The fish look super fresh and are coming from Massachusetts.  U/10 and 10/20 Scallops are flawless and are a mix from Boston and Barnegat Bay, New Jersey.  It looks like Swordfish is going to be a little tight this weekend.  I'd recommend ordering in advance just to be safe.  Local Tuna looks wonderful this morning.

 

We brought in more of that gorgeous Grey Tilefish from North Carolina.  These fish average about 5 pounds each.  Day boat Halibut from waters off Nova Scotia, Canada continue to impress.  They range in size from 10 to 40 pounds and quality is unmatched.  Wild Sockeye Salmon and Wild King Salmon are still coming in daily.  The Sockeye Salmon are about 5 pounds and come from Alaska.  The King Salmon are closer to 10 pounds and come from California.

 

Our weekly shipment of Sardines from Portugal arrived as scheduled and look great.  More Mahi Mahi from Guatemala is set to arrive tonight.  These fish will be head off and gutted and we are always happy with them.  Florida sent us the usual suspects this morning.  Red Snapper ranging in size from 2 to 8 pounds look nice.  Red Grouper are 5 to 10 pounds.  16/20 Fresh Gulf Shrimp are perfect as usual.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

We are bringing in some great items from Florida tonight.  These never disappoint.  Red Grouper that weigh between 5 and 10 pounds are always super fresh.  Red Snappers from 2 pounds all the way up to 8 pounds are coming in too.  16/20 Fresh Gulf Shrimp will be back tomorrow and are always beautiful.  We have Sturgeon in house today.  These farm raised Siberian Sturgeon come out of Florida and look terrific.  Louisiana Lump and Jumbo Lump Crabmeat are delicious this morning.

 

Jumbo Black Sea Bass is available, but the price shot up on us.  We don't expect a break in price until next week.  We are still bringing in Wild Striped Bass daily.  10 to 40 pound Halibut from waters off Nova Scotia are gorgeous as usual.  Tomorrow is our weekly shot of Sardines from Portugal.  We have a little bit of Razor Clams available today.  We are hoping to track down some more tonight, but the weather isn't cooperating.

 

The nicest Grey Tilefish I've ever seen is here this morning.  These fish are incredibly fresh and weigh between 4 and 6 pounds.  They come to us from the Carolina's.  Local Tuna looks lovely today.  We are having some trouble finding large amounts of Swordfish right now.  We are set to receive a nice size shipment for the weekend.  Wild Salmon is everywhere right now.  Wild Kings look great from California.  They weigh about 10 pounds.  Wild Sockeye and Coho Salmon are available from Alaska.  The Sockeye's weigh around 5 pounds and the Coho's are smaller at around 3.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

Beautiful locally caught Bigeye Tuna arrived this morning.  The fish have a great color to them and are really fresh.  Massachusetts sent us some really nice Fluke.  Day boat Halibut is still coming in daily from waters off Nova Scotia.  U/10 and 10/20 Scallops from New Jersey look fantastic today.  Local Blackfish are here and weighing in between 3 and 5 pounds each.

 

3/4 Chilean Turbot showed up this morning as expected.  Mahi Mahi is coming in from Guatemala tonight.  These fish are head off and gutted and always great quality.  Red and Black Grouper are available.  The Red's are from Florida and the Black Grouper is coming in from Panama.  Icelandic day boat Cod couldn't be fresher today.  They weigh between 10 and 15 pounds each.  We are going to stick with these until New England Cod prices come back down to earth.

 

Wild King and Wild Sockeye Salmon both came in today.  The King's are from California and tend to be around 10 to 12 pounds.  The Sockeye Salmon are in from Alaska and average about 5 pounds.  Both kinds look fantastic.

7.25.12

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

We are finally getting a good amount of Wild Striped Bass tonight.  Massachusetts is pulling in fish that meet New York size requirements.  We should be well stocked for tomorrow.  Cape May, New Jersey sent us more U/10 and 10/20 Scallops that look lovely.  Local Tuna couldn't be fresher this morning.  Fluke may be an issue for a few days.  They aren't catching enough fish to meet demand.  Domestic east coast Oysters are a problem right now.  Neither Long Island, nor Connecticut seem to be producing anything.  Oysters from Canada are your best bet.

 

Beautiful Swordfish arrived this morning.  Some of the fish are from Canada, and some came our way from Ecuador.  Mahi Mahi from Guatemala is set to arrive tonight.  These fish will be head off and gutted, but we're being told they will be on the smaller side.  We are expecting our weekly Sardine shipment from Portugal tonight and they are always excellent.

 

Wild Salmon is still running strong.  California is sending us Wild King Salmon almost daily.  Sockeye Salmon from Alaska are in good supply as well.  Jumbo Black Sea Bass continues to look great.  The fish weigh between 3 and 5 pounds and come to us from Boston.  New England fishing grounds are currently infested with Dogfish.  This is wreaking havoc on Cod, Pollock, and Hake catches. 

 

Florida is sending us some great stuff tonight.  We are expecting Red Grouper that weigh between 5 and 10 pounds.  We are always thrilled with these fish.  Red Snappers should be available in all sizes 2 pounds and up.  Fresh 16/20 Gulf Shrimp are on their way here again and are always fantastic.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

Local Big Eye Tuna looks fantastic this morning.  The fish look nice and fresh and have a great color to them.  U/10 and 10/20 Scallops couldn't be fresher.  They are in from our friends down in Barnegat Bay, New Jersey.  Wild Striped Bass is a bit of an issue.  We are being told they are catching a lot of fish that are too big to legally sell in New York.  We should be getting some in; but ordering them in advance might be the smart move.

 

Massachusetts sent us some lovely items this morning.  Jumbo Black Sea Bass that weigh 3 to 5 pounds look great.  Jumbo Fluke is a can't miss today also.  Day boat Halibut from waters off Nova Scotia keep coming in daily and look terrific. 

 

Wild King Salmon is in again from California.  We also brought in more Wild Sockeye Salmon from Alaska.  West Coast Oysters appear to be back on track after being shut out yesterday.  3/4 Chilean Turbot arrived as scheduled.  We also found some Panamanian Red Grouper that look very nice this morning.  They range in size from 5 to 10 pounds.  16/20 Fresh Gulf Shrimp are perfect as always.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

We brought in some wonderful items to start off the week right.  We also have more great stuff coming in tonight.  Jumbo Black Sea Bass from Massachusetts look gorgeous at 3 to 5 pounds each.  Local Monkfish Tails are quite large at over 5 pounds each.  We are still seeing a lot of Wild Striped Bass coming in from Massachusetts.  They are available in all sizes.  Day Boat East Coast Canadian Halibut look great today.  U/10 and 10/20 Scallops found their way here from Barnegat Bay, New Jersey.  After the mess today, it's good news that we are expecting to receive a lot of Oysters from the West Coast tonight.  There simply wasn't anything available today. 

 

Jumbo Spanish Mackerel are in from waters off the Carolina's.  They average about 4 pounds each.  3/4 Chilean Turbot will be available tomorrow as well.  Florida sent us lovely Golden Tilefish that average about 9 pounds.  We finally got our hands on some Mahi Mahi.  The fish are in from Panama and are already head off and gutted.

 

Siberian Sturgeon that is farm raised in Florida are back after being unavailable at the end of last week.  California King Salmon are on their way here.  We also brought in more Wild Sockeye Salmon from Alaska.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

Wild Striped Bass from Massachusetts is down in price for the 2nd straight day.  We are seeing a lot of really beautiful fish and expect more everyday.  Black Sea Bass are in from Boston and range from 3 to 5 pounds.  Big Local Monkfish look great at 5 pounds and up.  Barnegat Bay, New Jersey continues to send  us terrific U/10 and 10/20 Scallops daily.  We also brought in some Live Scallops in the Shell from Massachusetts. 

 

There are still production issues with All-Leg Crabmeat.  We brought in extra Lump Crabmeat from Louisiana to help cover the difference.  Fire River Oysters are coming in from New Brunswick, Canada tonight.  A few really nice items are in today from waters off the Carolina's.  6 pound Grey Tilefish look amazingly fresh.  We also tracked down some Spanish Mackerel. 

 

Hawaiian Big Eye Tuna is on it's way here.  These fish are always excellent quality.  More East Coast Canadian day boat Halibut is in this morning.  They range in size anywhere from 10 all the way up to 40 pounds.  Wild Sockeye Salmon are still running strong out of Alaska.  It looks like there isn't going to be any Mahi Mahi or Sturgeon available for a few days.  Please keep this in mind when ordering.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

It's time to stock up for the weekend.  The weather is supposed to be beautiful.  That should fill up the seats.  We are expecting to receive Wild Striped Bass from Massachusetts tonight.  This will help keep the price down and also give us a nice variety of sizes.  It looks like Halibut is going to be a problem this weekend.  We recommend you pre-order them.  The fisheries will reopen next week and the price should come back down.  Beautiful Jumbo Black Sea Bass from Massachusetts is here and we have more on the way.  Wild King Salmon is coming in again tonight; but we aren't sure if we will be getting more Sockeye.

 

Cape May, New Jersey has been sending us terrific U/10 and 10/20 Scallops and we expect more of the same tonight.  Monkfish is getting harder and harder to come by.  Please leave a substitute if you plan to order any.  We weren't able to track down any Mahi Mahi.  We are hopeful that we can find more, but we can't be sure.  We are sure however, that if we do find some, it will be expensive.  Beautiful and big day boat Steak Cod came in from Iceland.  These are a can't miss and have a nice low price compared to the fish from New England.  Red Grouper and Red Snapper both look fantastic coming out of Florida.  We also stocked up on 16/20 Fresh Gulf Shrimp.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

Beautiful items showed up this morning and we have more great stuff on the way.  Local Swordfish is flawless and the price is nice and low.  Center-Cut is only $9.75/lb.  Local Tuna and Mahi Mahi came in from the same boats.  The Mahi Mahi are 7 to 20 pounds with the head on.  Sea Trout (Weakfish) showed up again from waters off the Carolinas and range from 4 to 6 pounds.  North Carolina also sent Grey Tilefish our way today.  They average about 6 pounds each.  Lump and Jumbo Lump Crabmeat are super fresh out of Maryland and Louisiana.

 

Cod prices in New England are through the roof.  We are opting for that gorgeous day boat Cod from Iceland we had a while back.  They range from 10 to 15 pounds with the head already off.  Most of the time they are still in rigor when they arrive.  Massachusetts Wild Striped Bass should be heading our way by Friday.  This will bring prices down.  Right now all we are carrying are Long Island and Maryland fish.  Beautiful large Hake and Pollock both came in this morning.

 

Tomorrow is our weekly delivery of those beautiful Sardines from Portugal.  Don't miss out.  They tend to fly out of here.  Wild King Salmon from California look gorgeous.  Sockeye Salmon from Alaska are averaging about 5 pounds each and also look lovely.

 

Florida is sending the usual suspects our way overnight.  We are expecting to receive 5 to 10 pound Red Grouper that are always consistent.  Red Snappers finally appear to be getting back on track and we should see them in all sizes tomorrow.  16/20 Fresh Gulf Shrimp are always flawless and are set to arrive overnight as well.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

We brought in some wonderful items this morning.  Farmed Coho Salmon from British Columbia look amazing.  They are 6 to 9 pounds, already gutted, and have a nice low price.  We also got in more Wild King Salmon from California.  These fish are extremely fresh and weigh between 9 and 12 pounds.  Alaska sent more Wild Sockeye Salmon our way too.  They are 4 to 7 pounds and look great.

 

It looks like Monkfish is going to be tight for a few months.  This is the time of year when the only thing available will be by-catch from Scallop boats.  Speaking of Scallops; Cape May is sending us more super fresh 10/20 and U/10's tonight.  Sea Trout (Weakfish) from waters off the Carolina's look fantastic and are between 4 and 6 pounds.  We are running a special on Center-Cut Swordfish.  The price is only $9.75.  Get it while you can, because they are sure to fly out the door. 

 

Our 3/4 Chilean Turbot came in as scheduled and is lovely as always.  We are seeing Whitebait with a little more consistency of late.  New Brunswick, Canada has more of those delicious Fire River Oysters heading our way for tomorrow morning delivery.

7.9.12

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

A new week is here and the blistering heat seems to finally be lifting.  Hopefully, people come out of hiding and start eating.  Local Swordfish, Tuna, and Mahi Mahi all came in this morning from boats that fish waters from North Carolina to New Jersey.  They only send us the freshest fish.  The Mahi Mahi are between 7 and 20 pounds.  New jersey also sent us incredibly fresh U/10 and 10/20 Scallops this morning.

 

We got our hands on some Blackfish this morning from Massachusetts.  We haven't seen any in a while, so this is a nice surprise.  They are between 3 and 5 pounds.  Weakfish (Sea Trout) found it's way here from the Carolina's.  They are ranging from 4 to 6 pounds.  Day boat Halibut from eastern Canada look great at 10 to 50 pounds each.  Wild Sockeye and King Salmon are coming our way tonight.  The Sockeye are from Alaska and the King Salmon are from California.

 

Florida sent us some great items this morning.  Red Snappers look great.  As does Grouper and Sturgeon.  The Grouper are between 5 and 10 pounds while the Sturgeon are over 10 pounds.  Fresh 16/20 Gulf Shrimp are gorgeous as always.  Louisiana sent us super fresh Lump and Jumbo Lump Crabmeat.

 

3/4 Chilean Turbot is set to arrive overnight and is always lovely.  It looks like All-Leg Crabmeat and Uni are going to be a problem for a few days.  We should see All-Leg on Wednesday and Uni on Thursday.

7.2.12

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

Please be advised that we will be CLOSED WEDNESDAY JULY 4th.  We will reopen on Thursday.  If you are open on the 4th, you will need to bring in all of your items tomorrow.  We have some good news this morning to start out the new week.  We are expecting Wild Striped Bass prices to drop after the holiday.  New York season is officially open.  This means we will see a lot of super fresh fish with nice low prices.  Local Fluke prices are also down and look great.  U/10 and 10/20 Scallops are expected to come in overnight from our friends in Barnegat Bay, New Jersey.  Local Bluefish are nice and large at 6 to 9 pounds each.  Beautiful Snook from New England came in again and look fantastic at 12 pounds each.

 

Farmed Siberian Sturgeon from Florida look lovely as always this morning.  16/20 Fresh Gulf Shrimp are flawless as usual today.  It looks like Red Snappers are going to be a problem until after the 4th.  Soft-Shell Crabs are available; but it looks like the season is winding down a bit earlier than expected.  3/4 Chilean Turbot looks like a nice choice for a special.  Halibut prices are down.  These great fish come to us directly from eastern Canada and range in size from 10 to 40 pounds.  Wild King and Wild Sockeye Salmon are a can't miss.  They are both coming in daily from Alaska and are head off and already gutted.  The King's are about 10 to 12 pounds and the Sockeye's are 4 to 6 pounds each.

6.28.12

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

We have a few issues going into the weekend that you should be aware of:

 

-There will be NO 600/800 Gram Branzini or Dorade.  We do have 400/600 gram.

-If you need Lobsters of any size, all orders must be placed before 11 am on Friday.

 

We are bringing in some great specials for the weekend.  Head on Wild Sable from northern California are on their way here.  They will be between 3 and 6 pounds.  These fish are highly sustainable and should be lovely.  Snook from New England is in house today and they look tremendous.  They average 4 to 6 pounds each.  Kona Kompachi is available for preorders only.  Wild Sockeye and Wild King Salmon both look great out of Alaska. 

 

There will be no Red Snapper available this weekend.  The effects of the tropical storm are sticking around.  We have some Mahi Mahi and Red Grouper, but the price is up and we have a very limited supply.  I recommend ordering them in advance.  16/20 Fresh Gulf Shrimp are gorgeous as always.  We also got our weekly delivery of Portuguese Sardines in this morning.

 

We found some Steak Cod.  The price went up on us, but we should see a break in price next week after the heat wave.  Beautiful Jumbo Fluke that is locally caught is here.  Wild Striped Bass season in Rhode Island is closing.  New York season opens soon.  Hopefully, there is no large gap in availability.

6.27.12

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

The bad weather around the country earlier in the week is still having an effect on available items.  We managed to get a lot of great stuff in this morning; but some items are still not around.  6 to 8 pound head on Snook from New England look like a great choice for a special.  Rhode Island sent us beautiful Wild Striped Bass today.  They are pulling in some pretty big fish.  We have them from 8 all the way up to 20 pounds.  Cod was a problem today, but we are hoping to get some nice Steak Cod tonight.  Black Sea Bass is going to be tight for a few days too.

 

It looks like this tropical storm in Florida is really taking it's toll.  We aren't seeing any Mahi Mahi, Red Snapper or Tilefish.  All they seem to be sending our way are 16/20 Fresh Gulf Shrimp.  Luckily, they are perfect as usual.

 

Local Tuna and Swordfish are on their way here.  They are caught between North Carolina and New Jersey and we only see the best and freshest fish from these boats.  U/10 and 10/20 Scallops are still coming in regularly from our friends down in Barnegat Bay, New Jersey.

 

Sardines are set to arrive as scheduled overnight from Portugal.  We have been very happy with the quality of late and are expecting more of the same.  Farm raised Scottish Sea Trout came in again.  They are super fresh and similar to an oversized Rainbow Trout.  They run between 10 and 12 pounds each.  The price of Halibut came down.  Please check your attached pricelist for the new lower price on these gorgeous 10 to 40 pound Canadian fish.

6.25.12

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

A new week is here.  Beautiful U/10 and 10/20 Scallops came in this morning from Barnegat Bay, New Jersey.  We are getting in another shipment of Local Swordfish and Tuna tonight.  These fish are caught between North Carolina and New Jersey.  We are always thrilled with the quality of them.  We have been getting our Mahi Mahi from the same boats lately; but none is available and we haven't been able to track any down.  This means we won't see any Mahi Mahi for a few days.  We'll let you know when some comes our way.  Bad weather is causing problems with Red Snapper and Steak Cod.  We are using large market cod currently.  Kona Kompachi will also be available from Hawaii for preorders only.

 

Wild King Salmon and Wild Sockeye Salmon are both coming in tonight from Alaska.  Good news, the price is going to go down a bit for both items.  The Wild King's usually average about 12 pounds and the Sockeye's come in closer to 6.  Farmed Sea Trout from Scotland are super fresh and weigh about 12 pounds each.

 

Snowy Grouper came in this morning from waters off North Carolina and Virginia.  If you are unfamiliar with them, they are kind of a mix in coloring between Black and Red Grouper.  They look fantastic and range in size from 5 to 10 pounds each.  16/20 Fresh Gulf Shrimp are gorgeous as always.  We found some Golden Tilefish from Florida that weigh about 5 pounds.  Big farm raised Siberian Sturgeon came in as scheduled from Florida.  They weigh between 15 and 20 pounds each.

6.19.12

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

We have 3 kinds of Wild Salmon available today.  They all come from Alaska and look terrific.  King Salmon and Ivory King Salmon are both weighing between 12 and 14 pounds each.  Sockeye Salmon are averaging about 6 pounds.  All of them are head off and gutted, so your yield will be excellent.  We also brought in more Farmed King Salmon and we got in some Farmed Scottish Sea Trout that are about 12 pounds each.  They look amazing.

 

Day boat Monkfish tails came in last night from New Jersey and look super bloody.  Wild Striped Bass is down in price a bit.  We have smaller fish that are between 5 and 8 pounds from Delaware.  We also have larger fish from Rhode Island that are 10 pounds and up.  We are back up and running with day boat Gloucester Cod that are 10 pounds and up.  Jumbo Black Sea Bass is available in limited amounts.  Soft-Shell Crabs appear to be having a good week; well good for us, bad for them, and should be available in all sizes.

 

Red Snappers finally seem to be back on track.  They are in from Florida and look great.  Gray Tilefish from North Carolina is still running strong.  These fish are around 6 pounds each.  3/4 Chilean Turbot is fresh this morning and is always a nice idea for a special.

6.14.12

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

Please be advised that Wild Striped Bass and Black Sea Bass aren't looking good for tomorrow.  We are bringing in extra Grouper and Tilefish as potential substitutes.  Please leave a substitute if you plan to order Striped or Black Bass.  The problem with the Wild Striped Bass is that Rhode Island is currently the only state open and the fish they are catching are too big to legally sell in New York.  New York State Wild Striped Bass season opens in a few weeks.  We are sure to see more fish at better prices then. 

 

Local Swordfish and Local Tuna both showed up this morning and look fantastic.  Soft-Shell Crabs should be available in all sizes tomorrow.  We try not to bring in extra crabs; so order what you will need this weekend for tomorrow.  Maryland and Louisiana both sent us very fresh Lump and Jumbo Lump Crabmeat.  Unfortunately, it looks like Mahi Mahi and Red Snapper are going to be a problem this weekend.  No one seems to be catching any fish.

 

3/4 Chilean Turbot looks like a nice choice for a weekend special.  Dorade and Branzini should be no problem this weekend.  We are bringing in another shipment tonight.  Dayboat 10 to 40 pound Halibut from eastern Canada looks fantastic this morning. 

 

Wild Hiramasa from the South Pacific is here.  The quality is perfect and the fish weigh between 10 and 20 pounds.  As I said earlier, we are bringing in extra Red Grouper from Florida and Grey Tilefish from North Carolina.  The Grouper are anywhere from 5 to 10 pounds and the Tilefish average about 6 pounds each.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

A lot of really great items came our way this morning.  Barnegat Bay, New Jersey is back up and running with beautiful U/10 and 10/20 Scallops.  We are very well stocked on Local Swordfish that looks great.  We should be able to get more Black Sea Bass tonight which will be a good sub in case the Wild Striped Bass is a no show.  If you plan to order Wild Striped Bass, please leave a substitute.

 

Grey Tilefish from North Carolina continue to look amazing and weigh about 6 pounds each.  We are still running with Icelandic Dayboat Cod.  They are currently a better value and the quality is excellent.  We expect to start bringing in Cod from New England soon.  Wild King Salmon from Alaska is available.  We had 25 pound monsters in yesterday, but today we can get 10 to 15 pound fish with the head off and already gutted.  These will produce a terrific yield.

 

Tomorrow is our weekly shot of Sardines from Portugal.  They are always wonderful and tend to fly out the door.  I would order them ahead of time.  Bigeye #1 Tuna came in from Hawaii and looks fantastic.  Pacific Yellowtail (Hiramasa) are absolutely gorgeous this morning.  They weigh between 10 and 20 pounds and will make a terrific special.

 

Florida Red Grouper keep coming in between 5 and 10 pounds and will make a nice sub for Striped Bass.  Unfortunately, Red Snapper doesn't appear to be available for at least a few days.  We brought in more 16/20 Fresh Gulf Shrimp that are always perfect.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

We brought in some great local items this morning.  More Tuna and Swordfish came in.  They are both caught in waters between North Carolina and New Jersey.  The same boats brought us head on Mahi Mahi that range in size from 10 to 30 pounds.  Scallops from Cape Cod are set to arrive tonight.  Hard-Shell Maine Lobsters are showing a little break in price.  We might, I repeat, might get some Wild Striped Bass tonight.  But, please leave a substitute.  We are expecting to get our hands on a decent amount of them for Thursday. 

 

Enormous Wild King Salmon from Alaska came in this morning and more are available.  They average about 25 pounds each.  We also have 6 pound Sockeye Salmon from Alaska that look nice today too.  We got a nice shot of East Coast Canadian Oysters today.  Bluepoints are still a problem, unfortunately.  Dayboat Halibut also came our way from eastern Canada.  They range from 10 to 40 pounds. 

 

Golden and Grey Tilefish are here.  They are about 7 pounds each.  The Golden's are in from Florida and the Grey's came our way from North Carolina.  3/4 Chilean Turbot came in looking extra fresh this morning.  We got our hands on some Kona Kompachi that are about 4 pounds each from the South Pacific.  Wild Hiramasa that are 10 to 15 pounds are coming in tonight from the same area.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

It's a new week.  Hopefully you had a nice busy weekend and are in need of new great items that are available this morning.  Local Swordfish and Tuna came in today.  These fish come from boats that leave from North Carolina and fish their way up to New Jersey.  This ensures we only get the freshest fish around.  The same boats are bringing us more Local head on Mahi Mahi overnight.  U/10 and 10/20 Scallops are incredibly fresh out of Cape May, New Jersey this morning.

 

A wide variety of Oysters came in this morning from the east coast of the U.S. and Canada.  It looks like Wild Striped Bass availability is going to be a problem for at least a few days.  They aren't catching enough fish to meet demand and this drives the price up too.  Icelandic Dayboat Cod has been fantastic of late and we brought in more of the same great quality fish.  They average around 15 pounds each and are already head off and gutted.  Dayboat Canadian east coast Halibut is in this morning.  These gorgeous fish are anywhere from 10, all the way up to 40 pounds.

 

Panama sent us 5 to 10 pound Red Grouper that look great.  Grey Tilefish is in again from North Carolina and average about 5 pounds.  2 pound and up Red Snapper look like a great choice out of Florida.  We also brought in Louisiana Lump and Jumbo Lump Crabmeat, as well as Fresh 16/20 Gulf Shrimp.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

It's time to get your weekend menu together.  We brought in some great staple items and also have a few nice items for specials.  There are a few things we are unsure about regarding their availability.  Soft-Shell Crabs were pretty much a no-show today and we aren't sure if we will see more for the weekend.  Also, Swordfish appears to be tough to come by.  We should have some, but I would recommend ordering in advance.  We brought in beautiful Scallops from Barnegat Bay, NJ this morning.  Head On Local Mahi Mahi look fantastic at 5 to 10 pounds.  We also have larger 10 to 15 pound Head Off Mahi Mahi from Guatemala available.

 

3/4 Chilean Turbot looks great as always.  Greece came through today with plenty of Dorade and Bronzini for the weekend.  Portuguese Sardines came in as expected and look lovely as always.  We are finally getting in more Icelandic Dayboat Cod.  They range from 10 to 14 pounds and should help with the sky high Gloucester Cod prices we've been dealing with all week.

 

Gorgeous Red Grouper came in this morning from Florida.  They are anywhere from 5 to 10 pounds.  Fresh 16/20 Gulf Shrimp look terrific as usual.  We also brought in Grey Tilefish from North Carolina.  These fish are beautiful and weigh between 4 and 8 pounds.

 

Dayboat Canadian Halibut from the east coast came in this morning and we couldn't be happier with these 10 to 40 pounds fish.  Uni has been a problem for the last few days and we aren't positive we will see any for the weekend.  We brought in some delicious varieties of east coast Oysters today.  Fire River and Cooke's Cocktail's are in from New Brunswick, Canada.  Also from Canada, Malpeques are in from Prince Edward Island.  Maine sent us more Taunton Bay Oysters this morning as well.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

A new week is here.  Hopefully these rainy days don't stick around much longer.  We brought in some great items today and have more terrific stuff on the way.  Beautiful Cobia from the Carolina's showed up this morning.  The fish are large at around 12 pounds each.  Cape May, New Jersey sent us lovely U/10 and 10/20 Scallops.  Local Swordfish is super fresh this morning.  Black Sea Bass prices made a pretty significant jump over the weekend.  Please check your price list so you don't get surprised.

 

We brought in some new Oysters with a nice price and better flavor.  Malpeque's from Prince Edward Island are fantastic.  They are nice and inexpensive and come in a 125 count box.  Taunton Bay Oysters from Maine and Fire River Oysters from New Brunswick both have nice salinity and mineral levels and are rich in flavor.  Icelandic Dayboat Cod is set to arrive sometime midweek.  Until then, we will be using Gloucester Market Cod.  Dayboat East Coast Canadian Halibut are coming in again tonight.  We could not be happier with the consistency of these 10 to 40 pounders.  Copper River Sockeye Salmon are still going strong and average about 5 pounds each.

 

Wahoo came in again from South America.  These fish are big, but we will happily cut you whatever size piece you need.  Guatemalan Mahi Mahi is incredibly fresh this morning.  They are head on and available in 2 sizes; 5 to 10 and 15 to 20 pounds.  We brought in beautiful Hawaiian Tuna that is available in all grades.  New Zealand Pink Snappers are 2 to 4 pounds and will make a great alternative for small Red Snappers currently being unavailable.  We do however, have nice large 4 to 8 pound Red Snappers from Florida.

 

Florida sent us more great stuff as well.  Red Grouper look nice and weigh between 5 and 10 pounds.  We also brought in more 16/20 Fresh Gulf Shrimp that never disappoint.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

It feels like this nasty weather is working it's way out of the area.  This should help fill up the seats.  Local Swordfish is gorgeous today.  It didn't show up yesterday, but what we got today is fantastic.  The same shipment brought us more Local head on Mahi Mahi that also look super fresh.  Local Sea Trout were a nice surprise this morning.  They are anywhere from 2 to 5 pounds each.

 

Tomorrow is our weekly shipment of Portuguese Sardines.  These are always great.  Golden Tilefish came in from Florida this morning and weigh about 10 pounds each.  Grey Tilefish is in from Virginia.  They are a bit smaller at around 6 pounds, but the quality is wonderful.  3/4 Chilean Turbot looks like a good idea for a special.

 

We brought in a few new oysters to try out today.  Fire River Oysters are a medium size and have a high salt and mineral content.  They are coming to us from Richibucto, New Brunswick Canada.  We also brought in Taunted Inlet Oysters from Maine that are similar in size and salinity.  Icelandic Dayboat Cod is set to arrive tonight.  This is great news because the Cod we've been getting from Massachusetts lately has been very small.  These fish are usually between 10 and 12 pounds each.  Bloody Monkfish Tails came in from Boston this morning.  We also brought in more Jumbo Black Sea Bass.  The price is holding nice and low too.  Wild Striped Bass from Rhode Island are coming in with some regularity which is a nice relief.  We should be seeing them daily barring any issues.

It's back to the grind after the holiday.  We got lucky this morning.  Normally after a holiday we see limited availability on many items.  But we are in good shape today.  We have 3 types of Wild Salmon from Alaska available.  Wild King Salmon are about 12 pounds each.  Sockeye Salmon are around 6.  We also have Steelhead that are around 6 pounds as well.  All 3 are head off and gutted; so you are sure to get a great yield.  Maine Lobsters are here today and are climbing out of the tanks.  Dayboat East Coast Canadian Halibut are a can't miss today at 10 to 40 pounds.

 

Rhode Island Wild Striped Bass look wonderful this morning.  They are available in a variety of sizes.  Blackfish from Boston made a surprise appearance today.  Fluke remains a problem.  There simply aren't enough around to fill demand. 

 

We brought in wonderful Tuna from the Galapagos Islands and have Local fish on their way here.  We are also getting Local Swordfish and Mahi Mahi tonight.  U/10 and 10/20 Scallops are incredibly fresh our of Barnegat Bay, New Jersey.  Grey Tilefish from North Carolina are weighing in around 6 pounds.

 

Corvina from Ecuador is available.  We don't have any more today, but should be able to get more overnight.  Kona Kompachi is also available overnight.  16/20 Fresh Gulf Shrimp are perfect as always.  Red Snapper came in from Florida and are really fresh.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

It isn't raining!  This is sure to fill up those seats tonight.  It also means we should see lots of fish coming in over the next few days.  We have some wonderful items available this morning.  Icelandic Dayboat Cod look terrific at 10 to 12 pounds each.  We are actually starting to see some Wild Striped Bass.  The fish are coming to us from recently opened Rhode Island.  Grey Tilefish from Virginia look great.  And this is good because Golden Tilefish is currently not around.  Dayboat East Coast Canadian Halibut are great as always and weigh 10 to 40 pounds.

 

New Zealand Pink Snappers are set to arrive tonight.  They usually weigh in at around 2 to 4 pounds.  Tomorrow is our weekly shot of Sardines from Portugal.  They tend to fly out of here, so order them early.  3/4 Turbot from Chile look great today.  Wahoo is in from South America.  The fish is big; we will cut you whatever size you need.

 

Siberian Sturgeon that is farm raised in Florida are flawless as always.  Red Grouper also came in from Florida.  They weigh between 5 and 10 pounds each.  Red Snappers have bright red gills to match this morning.  16/20 Fresh Gulf Shrimp are amazing as usual. 

 

Wild Salmon is starting to trickle in from Alaska.  Wild King and Sockeye are both available.  They are coming from the Columbia River and are the same price.  They do however vary in size.  The King Salmon are around 14 pounds each and the Sockeye are averaging about 7 pounds.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

Hopefully the lousy weather isn't scaring off too many customers.  It is doing a number on fishing grounds up and down the east coast.  We still managed to get our hands on some wonderful items this morning.  Dayboat Cod from New England is here.  We are still hoping to bring in some Icelandic Cod to help with the high price.  But so far, we haven't had any luck.  Flounder looks great coming out of George's Bank.  Fluke tends to dry up this time of year and the bad weather sure isn't helping matters.  Jumbo Black Sea Bass prices are down again!  Enjoy them now.  This is the best time of year for these fish and unfortunately, the price tends to get so low that fishermen stop going after them and they vanish.

 

Maine Lobster prices are finally showing signs of coming down.  They are down a bit today and we expect a larger drop in the weeks to come.  Local Sword and Tuna both look great today.  We also have Bigeye Tuna from Hawaii coming in tonight.  Wahoo from South America is here and more is available.  The fish we brought in is quite large.  We will happily cut you whatever size you need.  Grey Tilefish from Virginia is available this morning.  They average around 6 pounds.

 

Beautiful Dayboat 10/20 and U/10 Scallops keep coming in every morning from Barnegat Bay, New Jersey.  East Coast Canadian Dayboat Halibut that range from 10 to 40 pounds are in today.  We are also seeing our first glimpses of Copper River Sockeye Salmon.  They are around 7 pounds each.  The price is high now, but it should come down as soon as the fish become more available.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

A new week is here.  We're starting it off right with some fantastic local items.  Sea Trout are super fresh and weigh between 3 and 5 pounds.  Swordfish and Tuna came our way this morning from boats that fish from North Carolina up to New Jersey and ship directly to us.  We always get the best quality fish from this supplier.  Jumbo and Whale sized Soft-Shell Crabs appear to be the only sizes available right now.

 

Jumbo Black Sea Bass out of Boston continues to hold it's nice low price.  Wild Striped Bass is starting to trickle back in.  They are coming from Delaware, but are still very limited.  I recommend ordering them in advance.  U/10 and 10/20 Scallops came in from our friends in Barnegat Bay, New Jersey.

 

Shad Roe is making another appearance.  We are expecting it to be available for at least a few days.  Wild King Salmon is coming in from Alaska.  The fish average around 12 pounds and come in with the head off and gutted.  East Coast Canadian Dayboat Halibut is very fresh this morning.  They range in size from 10, all the way up to 40 pounds.

 

Fresh 16/20 Gulf Shrimp are terrific as always.  Red Snapper of all sizes came in this morning too.  Smaller sizes have been a problem for a while now, but we might be out of the woods.  Golden Tilefish, also from Florida, couldn't be fresher today and average about 8 pounds each.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

It's time to plan those weekend menus.  We brought in some wonderfully fresh items today and have more great stuff coming in overnight.  Local Swordfish pricing and quality can't be beat today.  Local Tuna of all grades is also available.  John Dory from local waters look terrific at 2 to 4 pounds each.  Soft-Shell Crabs are being a bit of a problem.  It looks like Jumbos are your best bet.  Other sizes are really hard to come by.

 

Jumbo Black Sea Bass out of Boston went down in price again.  The quality is still excellent and they weigh between 3 and 5 pounds each.  It looks like Cod is going to be a problem.  We weren't able to get any more Icelandic Cod so we are at the mercy of the Market Dayboat Cod from New England.  They are really nice quality, but availability and price are the main concerns.  Fluke is also an issue this week.  We are bringing in more large Flounder from George's Bank to help fill the void.  Dayboat East Coast Canadian Halibut are absolutely gorgeous today.  They range in size from 10 all the way up to 40 pounds.

 

Maryland and Louisiana both sent us incredibly fresh Crabmeat this morning.  Rain has forced closures for Uni.  We won't see any from Maine until at least Monday.  Sardines from Portugal are great as always.  We got lucky and tracked down some Monkfish Liver.  They are cheaper than the last time we brought them in and will make a great special.

Have a great day.
