Wild Edibles Newsletter 6-26-2013

Good Morning chefs and buyers,

Large Local Fish continue to be the best choices this week. Tuna and Sword are landing in New York and coming to us extremely fresh. All grades of Tuna are readily available and are reasonably priced. That Head-on Mahi we mentioned earlier in the week arrived again today and simply couldn't be any better. They range in size, but most are large fish perfect for a great yield and a low price.

Another large, Local specialty we're offering today is Escolar. Also known as "White Tuna" Escolar is an underrated fish that only appears as a bycatch on Tuna boats. It can be cut in steaks and grilled to mimic the texture and taste of Swordfish, but it is also great prepared in a crudo or ceviche preparation.

Gulf Shrimp has been missing so far this week but we are expecting that to change tomorrow morning. Rock Shrimp too has been a problem recently but we are optimistic about getting some fresh product in time for the weekend. Other warm-water staples like Grouper and Tilefish however continue to be missed. Please keep substitutes in mind for these two fish going into the weekend.

Like Escolar, Cobia is a great, underutilized fish that lends well to summer preparations. We look forward to our shipment of Cobia arriving tonight in time for tomorrow morning's deliveries. They will weigh approximately 8-10lbs each, coming in from Panama.
