In from the market this morning we have some of the items that are the fantastic local offerings and are sometimes overlooked. Local Monkfish tails ranging sizes 4-8lbs look amazing this morning.
The under-appreciated Bluefish, caught fresh in the Long Island Sound, are at the peak season for quality and value. Locally caught Blackfish also looks fantastic today. These guys are usually a Fall item but we've seen a surge in catches recently so try and take advantage while you can. All three of these local fish are priced to move so don't miss out.
Head on Mahi came in today from the Mid-Atlantic states. This is a good sign after Mahi was scarce last week. From further south is farm-raised Siberian Sturgeon. If you haven't worked with Sturgeon before, you can almost treat it like a piece of beef when combining flavors and considering cooking methods. Its a meaty, almost smoky flavored fish with a satisfying thick texture that holds up well to bold, umami-rich flavor profiles. Sturgeon is reasonably priced and its domestically raised in carefully monitored, closed circuit aquaculture systems. This is just a complicated way of saying its a great sustainable seafood choice that you can indicate on your menu.
