Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

East Coast oyster should finally be back in stock tomorrow and continuing to return in time for the weekend. Oysters beds from Maryland up to New England were mostly banned from harvesting in recent days. This 10 day ban due to the heavy rains last week is finally being lifted and we are scrambling to restock as soon as we can.

Among the other many noteworthy East Coast offerings today is beautiful Blackfish from Massachusetts. Also known as Tautog, the Blackfish has been a fixture in New York/Long Island cuisine since the 1800's. They're known from scavenging shipwrecks and other submarine man-made fixtures.

Razor Clams from Maine are another great item to take advantage of this week. Named for resembling an old-fashioned straight razor, this unique creatures are perfect roasted or as ceviche.

From farther away, we received some really impressive Black Grouper from Panama today. There are a bit bigger than their Red cousins - these Black ones are 5-8lbers - but they are basically the same fish when cooked.




Because local fisherman are coming up empty this week we have ordered Hawaiian Swordfish for tomorrow. We do prefer our fish to be as local as possible, but we've sold these Hawaiian Swords before and they are always fantastic.
