5.2.12

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,
 
Hopefully the weather isn't scaring off any customers.  We got our hands on some Shad Roe from Connecticut.  We should be able to get more, but it's a little hit or miss.  Beautiful Dayboat U/10 Scallops from Barnegat Bay, NJ keep coming in everyday.  Unfortunately, #2 Tuna is still a problem.  We have plenty of #1 and 2+ available to sub.  Live Rainbow Trout from a hatchery in western New Jersey came in again.  These fish are pulled directly from their tanks and into our truck.
 
Red Drum from North Carolina looks great.  The fish are huge, but we will happily cut you whatever size fillet you need.  Halibut from Alaska is incredibly fresh today.  We will also have East Coast Halibut available should we run out.  Louisiana sent us incredibly fresh Lump and Jumbo Lump Crabmeat this morning as well.
 
Chilean 3/4 Turbot looks like a fantastic idea for a special.  Tomorrow is our weekly shipment of Portuguese Sardines.  These delicious treats tend to fly out of here, so get your orders in early.  Icelandic Dayboat Cod is on it's way here again.  Dayboats in New England are back out fishing, but the poor weather is likely to delay any real amount of catch.  We are hopeful to start seeing them next week.
 
Today in 1939, Lou Gehrig's amazing 2,130 consecutive games played streak ended when he benched himself due to poor play.  He had been showing symptoms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) since the 1938 season.  The disease was difficult to diagnose due to its rareness.  It is now referred to as Lou Gehrig's Disease.  He never played again.  Two months later on July 4th, fully aware he was dying, he gave his now iconic speech in front of 60,000 fans at Yankee Stadium stating, "Today, I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth."  He died less than 2 years later with his wife Eleanor by his side.
 
Have a great day.
