Wild Edibles Newsletter 9-26-2013

Good Morning chefs and buyers,

In the warehouse today we have fresh sardines from Portugal. The term sardine was first used during the early 15th Century and may have come from the Mediterranean island of Sardinia. Fresh sardines are often grilled, pickled, or smoked they also can be preserved in cans. They are rich in vitamins and mineral as well.

Very exciting news we have Razor Clams are coming into the warehouse tonight. Razors also known as bamboo clams, is a large species of edible marine bivalve mollusk. These razor clams can be found anywhere between Maine and South Carolina as well as in Europe.

Today we 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. 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.
The fish then swims with its blind side facing the sea bottom.

Of course the ever popular Wild Striped Bass is in the warehouse today. This fish has a very clean and mild flavor with meat that has a firm texture. Wild Striped Bass is pretty much a staple on every restaurant’s menu please plan accordingly.





Be yourself, who else is better qualified.
