Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

We have a beautiful treat for everyone coming in tonight is Wild Nunavut Arctic Char. The Nunavut territory, up at the top of the world is flat, tree-less tundra stretching as far as the eye can see. Most of the year is ice and snow against a cold gray sky. Out of this extreme environment comes a fish of amazing delicacy and depth, with flesh as vibrant as the landscape is bare. Cold waters make for fish with a high fat content and the intensely cold waters of the arctic guarantee an incomparable richness.

Wild King Salmon is in the house from Alaska. Wild King Salmon is the largest of the 5 salmon species. The fish are prized for their red meat, rich flavor, high oil content and firm texture.

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. The fish 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.

Today we also have beautiful east coast Halibut from Nova Scotia. Halibut is distinguished by its flat shape and strange appearance due to the appearance of its eyes.






We also have farmed sturgeon from Florida. Sturgeon is a firm meaty fish perfect for on the grill ,poached or broiled. The farmed species has a mild and delicate flavor.

Life is about timing. - Carl Lewis
