Good Morning chefs and buyers,
In the warehouse this morning we have Cobia. This fish is 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 a moist flesh.
We also have beautiful local Mahi-Mahi in the warehouse today. Mahi also known as Dolphin fish is a surface dwelling ray-finned fish found in off-shore temperate, tropical and subtropical waters worldwide. Mahi is a lean fairly firmed meat fish with a sweet and mild to moderate flavor. Mahi Mahi means very strong in Hawaiian.
Another great fish in the warehouse today is Golden Tilefish from Massachusetts. These fish 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. Its flavor is sweet and similar to crab or lobster.
Sea Trout from Long Island just came in this morning. These have the best flavor of all trout, they are prepared the same way you would a salmon and have excellent flavor as well as texture.
My palate is simpler than it used to be. A young chef adds and adds and adds to the plate. As you get older, you start to take away.
