5.1.12

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,
 
We brought in some really great items today.  Jumbo Black Sea Bass continues to look great.  These trap fish are coming to us from Boston.  Although the dayboats are back out on the water, the lousy weather will probably slow down Cod fishing.  We brought in extra Icelandic Cod to hold us over.  Massachusetts opened Wild Striped Bass season today.  We probably won't see any fish for a few days, but this should help pricing down the road.  Whitebait is back from the Great Lakes.  Local Monkfish Tails are huge today.  Some of them are 10 pounds.  Barnegat Bay, NJ sent us incredibly fresh U/10 Scallops this morning.
 
West Coast Halibut is available.  The fish look great and are 10 to 20 pounds each and coming in from Alaska.  Troll Caught Wild King Salmon is also available from Alaska.  The fish are $15/lb and average between 10 and 15 pounds.  Scottish Salmon also made a nice comeback today.
 
After being cleaned out on Swordfish yesterday, our buyer tracked down a 370 pound monster from Hawaii.  Guatemalan Mahi Mahi looks amazing this morning.  The fish are already gutted with the head off and they weigh between 5 and 20 pounds.  Chile sent us more 3/4 Turbot today that looks great as well.
 
Today in 1931, The Empire State Building was dedicated.  President Hoover flicked the ceremonial switch to turn on the lights.  It was just for show.  The real lights were turned on within the building as President Hoover was in Washington.  It is said the idea for the building was born from a competition between Walter Chrysler and John Jakob Raskob.  Chrysler had already begun construction on the iconic Chrysler Building.  However, the simpler art-deco design of the Empire State Building allowed construction to move swiftly.  This was much needed work for Depression stricken city workers.  The building held the title of the world's tallest skyscraper until 1972.
 
Have a great day.
