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.
