Good Morning Chef’s and Buyers,

Amazing Rock Crab in the house today! Not much to go around so you need to grab up as much as
you can.  These crabs are pretty meaty in both
the claws and legs and has a sweeter buttery
taste compared to the similar Dungeness crab.

Cobia! Cobia are delicious and agreeable to
basically any method of preparation. The sweet,
richly flavored meat is firm with a nice flake.
The oil content is similar to that of a coho
salmon, making for moist flesh.

We have Golden Tilefish from the Carolina’s.
Tilefish are usually found in sandy areas,
especially around coral reefs. Generally shallow water fish, tilefish are found at depths of 50-
200 meters in both temperate and tropical
waters. Tilefish is a mild tasting white fish that
mostly feed on shrimp and crab and its sweet
flavor is similar to crab or lobster

Locally caught off the Montauk Coastline, Our
Wonderful Jumbo Black Sea Bass, these fish
weigh between 2-4lbs each. This fish has a
mild, fresh, somewhat delicate flavor and a
tender but firm texture.

Beautiful Sockeye Salmon, richly textured and
highly flavorful, Sockeyes are the Second

Wild Stripped Bass Season is in Full Swing right
now in Maryland. This Fish has a very clean and
mild flavor with meat that has a firm texture.
The price will keep coming down once more
states are open and the warm weather is here
to stay.

Frozen Escolar, This firm white fleshed fish has
an incredibly rich flavor, often described as
“succulent”, or a fattier version of swordfish.
Why so rich? It turns out that Escolars diet
contains food high in wax esters. Wax esters
that are really difficult for Escolar to digest. As
a result, these esters build up in the fish.

Good Morning Chef’s and Buyers,

Today we have East Coast Halibut from Nova
Scotia. Halibut is distinguished by its Flat Shape
and Strange appearance due to the appearance
of its eyes. On the right side when the Atlantic
Halibut changes from larva to fish, its eyes are
initially located on each side of its head.
However, during its first year of life, its body’s
morphology undergoes a major change
whereby its left eye migrates towards the right
side of its head, it then swims with its blind side
facing the sea bottom.

Today we have Razor Clams in the house. The
Atlantic Razor Clams also known as the bamboo
clam or the American Jackknife clam is a large

Good Morning chefs and buyers,

In the warehouse today is Cobia which 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.

Red Grouper from Florida has been pretty consistent the last couple of weeks. A member of the Sea Bass family is found in warm tropical temperatures worldwide. These fish are primarily accessible by hook and line.

Sea Trout or as some call it Weakfish is in the warehouse today. This fish is actually part of the Drum family not the Trout family as some suppose because the name it bears. When they are young they prey on shrimp and other crustaceans. As they get older they switch over to fish the bigger the better.

Once again we have Locally caught John Dory in the warehouse. This fish gets its prey by stalking other fish. It usually eats cuttlefish, squid, sardines and schooling fish. Its firm textured white flesh is moist and flaky with a low fat content.




Please be aware that Wild Striped Bass is in high demand at the moment. Prices have gone up on it because New York State is the only state open at the moment. Any questions on this matter don’t hesitate to contact your sales rep.

You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.
