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.

Have a great day.
