Wild Edibles Newsletter 6-4-2013

Good Morning chefs and buyers,

The star of the day is undoubtedly our fantastic Jumbo Black Sea Bass. Locally caught off the Montauk coastline, these fish weigh between 2 and 4lbs each and are so fresh that most are still in rigor even as I write this email. The blue sheen evident on the scales of each fish is a sure sign that these were in the water a matter of hours ago.
We recommend you take advantage of these Black Sea Bass while you can because the quality and value we're seeing this week will not last for long.

Other highlights include our increasingly popular Spanish Turbot and Wild King Salmon. Both items arrived overnight so you can be sure they are as fresh as possible. Staples such as Halibut and Wild Striped Bass are readily available this week, as is Golden Tilefish from Florida.

We were surprised to find spectacular Cobia at the market today. Caught off the coast of Virginia, wild Cobia is a by catch item and thus difficult to supply regularly. It’s a unique item, but its firm, pale-pink flesh could be most closely compared to a Yellowtail or other member of the Jack family.

One local staple we can't seem to find this week is Mahi. The fantastic fish we saw last week are still sitting at the market today. For now we've chosen to pass on these old fish and wait for new catches to come in, hopefully by the end of the week.

It's a round ball and a round bat, a you got to hit it square.  Pete Rose
