Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

A new week is upon us.  I'm sure the busy weekend wiped you out of inventory like it did to us.  We stocked up on wonderful items and have more great stuff on it's way here.  Dayboat 10/20 and U/10 Scallops from Cape May, NJ came in.  Also from New Jersey, we are getting another shipment of the Live Rainbow Trout.  These fish each weigh 11 to 13 ounces each and are still flopping around in the truck when we pick them up.  Local Blackfish are incredibly fresh today.  Soft-Shell Crabs of all sizes look great and are working their way up the coast to Maryland.  Please note that it looks like Swordfish is going to be very limited for the next few days.

 

Trap season is open in Massachusetts.  This means we are seeing fantastic Jumbo Black Sea Bass and Squid.  Wild Striped Bass prices are holding and the fish look terrific.  Red Drum came in again from North Carolina.  The fish are huge.  We are happy to cut you whatever size fillet you need.  Our Cod are currently Dayboat fish from Iceland.  However, Dayboat's in New England are back up and running tomorrow.  We should start to see them by the end of the week. 

 

Crayfish from California are on their way here.  These green treats are going to move fast.  I recommend ordering them early.  Beautiful Sturgeon from Florida is readily available.  We also brought in more 8 to 10 pound Golden Tilefish.  16/20 Fresh Shrimp from the Gulf are perfect as always.  Louisiana Lump and Jumbo Lump Crabmeat is delicious this morning.  Rock Shrimp are swimming too deep for the nets to catch them.  This happens periodically and is usually only a short term problem.

 

We are getting Halibut from Alaska tomorrow.  These fish are expected to be 10 to 20 pounds each.  Panama sent us great items this morning.  Black Grouper are nice and fresh and weigh between 5 and 8 pounds,  Mahi Mahi are head off and gutted.  They are on the small side though.  Sepia from Portugal look great as well.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

The weekend is right around the corner.  Make sure you are stocked up on all the great fresh seafood we have to offer today.  Local Tuna and Swordfish arrived this morning.  They come to us from boats that fish from North Carolina to New Jersey.  This ensures we only get the freshest available fish.  Though all sizes of Soft-Shell Crabs are around, Jumbos are definitely the way to go.  They are everywhere and the quality is more consistent then the smaller sizes right now.  Wild Striped Bass from Delaware is still readily available and the price is holding nicely.

 

Trap Squid from Massachusetts couldn't be fresher today.  Unfortunately, the bad weather earlier in the week means no Uni or Razor Clams until at least Monday.  Dayboat Canadian East Coast Halibut are incredibly fresh this morning.  They range in size from 10 to 50 pounds.  Scallops came in from New Jersey.  Unfortunately, it looks like U/10 Scallops are going to be very tight this weekend.

 

Ecuador sent us lovely Mahi Mahi.  Each fish is 5 to 15 pounds with the head off and already gutted.  Fresh Sepia arrived from Portugal today.  Florida sent us great stuff overnight.  Red Grouper are 5 pounds and up.  16/20 Fresh Gulf Shrimp are perfect as always.  Lump and Jumbo Lump Crabmeat from Louisiana is nice and fresh today too.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

We brought in some great stuff today and have more great items on their way.  Dayboat 10/20 and U/10 Scallops from Cape May, NJ look beautiful today.  Black Sea Bass from Boston are great quality and the price is holding.  Local Head On Mahi Mahi is finally here.  We haven't seen any in about a week.  They are 8 to 40 pounds each.  Local Swordfish couldn't be fresher.  Soft-Shell Crabs are working their way up the coast and the new lower price is reflecting that.  Whitebait from the Great Lakes is available today as well.

 

Louisiana and Maryland sent us delicious Lump and Jumbo Lump Crabmeat.  Red Drum came in from North Carolina.  These fish are huge.  A few of them are over 30 pounds.  We will cut you a 5 or 10 pound fillet if you would like.  Farmed Sturgeon looks great again.  Red Grouper from Florida have bright red gills and weigh 3 to 5 pounds and 5 pounds and up.

 

Iceland is sending us more of that gorgeous 8 to 12 pound Dayboat Cod.  They are set to arrive tonight.  East Coast Canadian Halibut look excellent this morning.  Scottish Salmon is back after being a no show yesterday.  Taylor Bay Scallops look like a great option for a special.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

A new week is here.  We brought in a lot of great stuff to get it started off right.  Head on Local Mahi Mahi is on it's way here.  These fish from New Jersey are always excellent.  3 to 5 pound Blackfish from Massachusetts look wonderful this morning.  Jumbo Black Sea Bass is back up and running.  They are 3 to 6 pounds and come to us from Boston.

 

Amberjack from North Carolina are incredibly fresh.  They come in between 4 and 6 pounds.  Florida sent us gorgeous Red Snappers and Red Grouper today. 

 

16/20 Fresh Shrimp from Florida are flawless as always.  Beautiful Golden Tilefish is in.  They are anywhere from 8 to 12 pounds.  We brought in more of the sustainable Sturgeon from Florida.  This fish farm specializes in sustainability and species growth.  Sturgeon is one of the world's oldest fish and has been long prized for their caviar and delicious fillets.  This has led to overfishing and a depletion of stocks worldwide.  More than a decade ago, an independent nonprofit organization dedicated to marine research and conservation began exploring ways to remove fishing pressures from wild Sturgeon stocks by developing innovative aquaculture techniques to produce a superior product in an environmentally responsible fashion.  Today, this fish is available in the marketplace.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

The weekend is almost upon us.  Make sure you are well stocked on everything you will need to get through another busy one.  We brought in great items today and have more nice stuff on the way.  Local Tuna and Swordfish showed up today.  These fish come to us directly from boats that fish from North Carolina to New Jersey.  They always send us amazing stuff.  Delaware sent us some monster Wild Striped Bass.  They are 20 pounds and up.  East Coast Canadian Oysters are still a problem due to freezing harvest areas.  We did manage to get Dayboat Canadian Halibut though.  They are 10 to 50 pounds.  More of that lovely Blackfish is set to arrive tonight from Boston.  The size tends to vary from 3 to 7 pounds per fish.

 

Our Thursday delivery of Sardines from Portugal arrived as scheduled.  We are also bringing in fresh Sepia from Portugal with these Thursday deliveries.  They look incredibly fresh.  Mexican Red Snappers look great today.  They are about 5 to 8 pounds each.  We are bringing in Opah tonight from Australia.  They will be loin cut, so we can cut you whatever size you need.  We recommend ordering this ahead of time.

 

Delicious Lump and Jumbo Lump Crabmeat came in from Louisiana this morning.  Farmed Sturgeon from Florida are terrific as usual at about 10 pounds each.  Golden Tilefish seems to be back up and running.  Fresh 16/20 Gulf Shrimp are a can't miss as always.

 

Today in 1775, at about 5 am, 700 British troops on a mission to capture Patriot leaders and seize an arsenal, march into Lexington, MA to find 77 armed minutemen.  The minutemen were ordered to disperse.  Shortly thereafter, "The Shot Heard Round the World" was fired from an undetermined gun.  When the brief Battle of Lexington was over, eight Americans lay dead or dying.  The American Revolution had begun.

 

Have a great day.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

The weather continues to be lovely.  This should keep filling up those seats.  Wonderful local items arrived this morning.  We have the first Blackfish we have seen in months available today.  They are 3 to 5 pounds.  We don't have much, so I would order them in advance.  Local 4 to 6 pound Sea Trout looks like a great idea for a special.  Local Dory is still showing up.  The fish are 3 to 5 pounds.  Enormous Bluefish came in this morning.  The fish are 8 to 12 pounds.

 

Amberjack from North Carolina are super fresh.  They average about 5 pounds.  North Carolina also sent us more lovely Albacore.  Florida came through with Cobia today.  The fish are wild and average around 25 pounds each.  We will cut you whatever size you need though.  Soft-Shell Crabs are still readily available.  Please order them in advance as we are trying  to not keep extra crabs around to ensure quality.  Louisiana Lump and Jumbo Lump Crabmeat is incredibly fresh today.  We also got a nice surprise from New Zealand.  Pink Snappers are here and are weighing in at 2 to 4 pounds each.

 

Razor Clams from Maine keep trickling in.  We aren't sure how much longer they will be available.  Jumbo Black Sea Bass is back.  They are 3 to 5 pounds and are coming to us from Boston.  Stunningly fresh Dayboat Halibut is in from Canada.  They are anywhere from 10 to 50 pounds each.  Canada also sent us beautiful 2 to 4 pound Arctic Char.  Icelandic Dayboat Cod is set to arrive tonight.  They are always flawless fish and weigh 8 to 12 pounds.  This should give us some relief on pricing.

Albacore came in this morning from North Carolina.  We don't have that much, so please place your orders early.  Jumbo Black Sea Bass is supposedly going to be back tomorrow.  Cod is looking like it is going to be an issue for at least a few days.  Wild Striped Bass out of Delaware are really fresh today.  We have a very little bit of Razor Clams in from Maine.  We suggest ordering them early.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

It's that time again.  The weekend is right around the corner.  The weather  is supposed to be gorgeous.  Make sure you are well stocked for all those hungry people who'll be out and about.  Beautiful Local Swordfish is here.  The fish are coming in from New Jersey and couldn't be fresher.  Local Tuna also looks great this morning.  Local Dory is a great idea for a special this weekend.  They are 3 to 5 pounds each.  U/10 and 10/20 Dayboat Scallops are nice and firm.  They are a mix from Boston and New Jersey. 

 

Jumbo Black Sea Bass finally looks like it's back on track.  They look great and are out of Boston.  West Coast Halibut is here.  We haven't been seeing a lot of them recently, but they appear to be coming back our way.  Whitebait is in from the thawed out Great Lakes.  Tomorrow may be our last chance at Razor Clams for the foreseeable future. 

 

Florida sent us wonderful items this morning.  The 16/20 Fresh Gulf Shrimp that came in are some of the nicest I've ever seen.  We have a special on 4 to 6 pound Red Snappers.  The price is $7.35 per pound for this size only.  Red Grouper looks amazing today.  They are 5 pounds and up.  Portugal came through with lovely Sepia and Sardines.  The Sepia are about 1/2 pound each and the Sardines look great as always.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

We have some lovely items available today and more great stuff is coming in tonight.  Swordfish looks absolutely gorgeous this morning.  The fish came in from Barnegat Bay, NJ.  Our friends in Barnegat Bay also sent us more U/10 and 10/20 Scallops.  Big Bluefish made an appearance this morning.  They are 5 to 7 pounds.  Black Sea Bass is finally back after pulling a disappearing act the last few days.  Local Dory looks like a nice idea for a special.  They are 3 to 5 pounds each.  We brought in a small amount of Sea Trout from Massachusetts that are about 4 to 6 pounds per fish.

 

Super Bloody, Local Monkfish tails are here.  Each tail is 5 pounds and up.  Tuna is getting tight and we expect the price to rise.  Albacore came in from North Carolina today.  North Carolina also sent us 7 to 12 pound Amberjack. 

 

It looks like Halibut is going to be tougher to find as the week goes along.  Beautiful farmed Sturgeon from Florida looks terrific.  Razor Clams are going to be unavailable for a while.  The waters are getting too high to harvest them.  Fresh 16/20 Gulf Shrimp are perfect as usual.  Tomorrow is our weekly delivery of Sardines from Portugal.  We are also bringing in fresh Sepia from the same supplier.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

The market and our direct suppliers are back in full swing.  The only main item that wasn't available was Black Sea Bass.  We got in some beautiful Local Swordfish this morning.  These boats ship directly to us and they fish from North Carolina to New Jersey.  The Pups and Markers they send us are always amazing.  Wild Striped Bass is back.  The 6 to 8 and 15+ fish from Delaware look great.  Local Dory is available today too.  They are bigger than last time at 3 to 5 pounds each.

 

Soft-Shell Crabs are readily available.  The Jumbos are in from Florida, while the Hotels and Primes are coming to us from South Carolina.  Fresh 16/20 Gulf Shrimp are super fresh as always.  Red Grouper from Florida is a can't miss today.  They are 5 to 10 pounds each.  Beautiful Florida Red Snappers have matching bright red gills.

 

Canadian Oysters are back in gear.  Everything appears to be thawed out and we aren't expecting any problems.  More Razor Clams are set to arrive tonight from Maine.  We recommend you stock up on them.  We aren't expecting to see any as we get closer to the weekend.

 

Gorgeous 10 to 50 pound East Coast Canadian Halibut came in this morning.  These Dayboat fish are always lovely.  We are trying out a new source for Turbot.  The fish will be 3/4, but instead of Chile, they will be coming in from Spain.  We are hoping this improves availability and consistency.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

It's time to get your menu ready for the holiday weekend.  Stock those walk-ins because the nice weather is sure to fill up the seats.  Local Tuna of all grades look wonderful today.  U/10 and 10/20 Scallops are out of New Jersey and Boston.  Virginia has closed it's Wild Striped Bass season.  All of our fish is now coming in from Delaware.  Dayboat Monkfish Tails look delicious and are coming out of Boston.

 

2 pound Triggerfish from Florida looks like a nice option for a special.  We don't have much, so please order it ahead of time.  Pompano is weighing in at 1 to 2 pounds.  Florida also sent us lovely Red Grouper that are 5 to 10 pounds each.  2 to 4 and 4 to 8 pound Red Snappers have bright red gills and are also from Florida.

 

Soft-Shell Crab season appears to be in full swing.  Aside from the Jumbos we've been seeing for a few weeks, we also have Primes and Hotels available.  Calico Bay Scallops are available from North Carolina.  We haven't seen these beauties in years.  Whitebait is coming in pretty regularly now that the Great Lakes are thawed out. 

 

West Coast Halibut looks beautiful.  The fish are between 10 and 40 pounds each.  It looks like West Coast Oysters are going to be a problem.  There have been problems with closures and flooding.  At least the Mets are still tied for 1st place.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

It's Opening Day!  No one seems to count those 2 games in Japan.  Baseball season and Jumbo Soft-Shell Crabs really make it sink in that Spring is here.  Dayboat U/10 and 10/20 Scallops are coming to us from Boston and Barnegat Bay, NJ.  We are very limited on Tuna today, but have plenty of fish coming in tonight.  Local Swordfish is on it's way too and hopefully the price will drop a bit.  Jumbo Porgies and Local Dory look like great options for a special today.

 

Tomorrow is our weekly shot of Portuguese Sardines.  They tend to fly out of here; so order them in advance.  Whelks and Steamers are in from Maine and look very fresh.  Wild Striped Bass is coming in tonight too.  Dayboat Icelandic Cod is here.  This is going to give us some relief from the high Cod prices this week.  Be sure to specify that you want the Icelandic Cod when ordering. 

 

Louisiana Lump and Jumbo Lump Crabmeat are on their way here.  16/20 Fresh Gulf Shrimp are set to come in tonight and are always flawless.  More Snook from Florida came our way.  They are 5 to 9 pounds each.  Red Grouper and Golden Tilefish are coming in from Florida tonight as well.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

Bright sunny skies and temperatures in the 60's should really help fill those seats this week.  Dayboat U/10 and 10/20 Scallops are coming in tonight.  They are going to be a mix of Boston and Cape May, NJ scallops.  Tuna is going to be tight tomorrow.  I would recommend getting your orders in early.  Local Dory are nice and big today at around 4 pounds each.  Wild Striped Bass and Black Sea Bass continue to be a problem.  We are supposed to get some in tonight, but we don't know how much.

 

Calico Bay Scallops are available from Vancouver.  We can't remember the last time we saw these.  The Great Lakes are thawing out.  This means we are starting to see some Fresh Whitebait.  Icelandic Dayboat Cod is set to come in tonight.  This should give us some relief from the really high Cod pricing of late.

 

Snook came in from Florida this morning.  They are 5 to 9 pounds each.  Florida also sent us 6 to 10 pound Golden Tilefish that looks super fresh.  Pompano from Florida is also available.  Ecuadorian Escolar is set to arrive tonight.  These fish are always huge, so we will cut you whatever size you need. 

 

Whelks are in from Maine.  We aren't expecting to see any Razor Clams tomorrow because the weather up in Maine hasn't allowed them to go harvest.  Dayboat East Coast Canadian Halibut looks wonderful today at 10 to 40 pounds and the price is holding.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

 

It's a new week and we brought in some great items for you to enjoy.  Local Tuna looks amazing this morning.  The boats that catch these fish start in North Carolina and work their way up to us.  They always give us great fish.  Blowfish Tails from Long Island are incredibly fresh.  Steamers came in from Long Island this morning too.  Local Bluefish look nice at 4 pounds each.  Soft-Shell Crabs are crawling out of the box today.  Jumbos look to be all that is available.

 

We have Farmed Sturgeon from Florida, as well as Wild Sturgeon from the Columbia River.  The Wild Sturgeon is quite large and the farmed fish are about 10 to 12 pounds each.  16/20 Fresh Gulf Shrimp are a can't miss item today.  Chile is sending us our Turbot tonight.  They will be both 2/3 and 3/4 sizes.  Louisiana Lump and Jumbo Lump Crabmeat couldn't be fresher.  This is great because we can't seem to find any All-Leg.

 

Wild Steelhead from Alaska made an appearance today.  They are 8 to 10 pounds and very fresh.  Wild Striped Bass and Cod are up in price.  Please take note of the changes on your price list.  We are hoping for some relief later in the week.  Boston is sending us 10/20 and U/10 Scallops tonight.  East and West Coast Halibut are available.  Please specify which you prefer.
