Wild Edibles Newsletter 5-16-2013

Good Morning chefs and Buyers,



Today we have razor clams in the house. The Atlantic razor clam also known as the bamboo clam or the American Jackknife clam is a large species of edible marine bivalve mollusk, found on the North Atlantic coast, from Canada to South Carolina as well as in Europe.



We also have crayfish from Louisiana. Crayfish also known as crawfish or crawdads are fresh water crustaceans resembling small lobsters. Crayfish are eaten worldwide. Like other edible crustaceans, only a small portion of the body of crayfish is edible. In most prepared dishes, such as soups, bisques and etoufees, only the tail portion is used.





Also in the house today we have Norwegian Cod which has been an important economic food group since the Viking period around 800 A.D. Norwegian Cod is a firm textured fish with large flakes and has a mild sweet taste.



Once again we got in beautiful east coast Canadian halibut. This fish is distinguished by its flat shape and strange appearance due to the appearance of its eyes. On the right side when the Atlantic halibut changes from larva to fish, its eyes are initially located on each side of its head. However during its first year of life its body morphology undergoes a major change whereby its left eye migrates towards the right side of its head. It then swims with its blind side facing the sea bottom.
