Good Morning Chefs and Buyers!

Even though the weather doesn’t reflect it yet… Spring is finally here!!!

Lobster prices are continuing to climb as supply continues to decrease. There is virtually no production coming from Maine or Canada. The sellers have a big advantage here because they can quote any price they want. You may want to consider making changes on your menus for the next few weeks.

East Coast oyster production is also slow. Bays are still frozen and high tides are making it hard for oyster farmers to harvest new product. Shipments of oysters will continue to be slow till the weather warms up.

We have some nice selection of seafood that came into our warehouse this morning. Fresh 16/20 Gulf Coast Shrimp arrived. Channel Catfish from Virginia is in stock. Sardines from Portugal are here. Long Island Blowfish Tails are available. Grouper from Florida is arriving tomorrow after disappearing for the last few weeks. Atlantic Cod from Massachusetts is steadily coming in and looks beautiful.

This is the last weekend you will see Wild Striped Bass at such a great price. Wild Striped Bass season in Virginia is closing this week and supply will come in from Delaware.

The Swordfish that arrived today looks spectacular. Long lined in local Atlantic waters, Swordfish has a buttery flavor with nice firm white meat. This is some A+ Swordfish in terms of quality.
