Moon fish have been moving quickly for us.  Moon fish, A.K.A. the Sea Angel is a cross between Pompano and John Dory. A thin circular fillet is what you can expect from this shiny tropical beauty. These fish are averaging 1 to 3 lbs. each and can be served the same way you would any tropical fish.

Permanently gaping at both ends, these brittle-shelled bivalves are named for their resemblance to old-fashioned straight edge razors. Their sweet flavor excels in ant recipe calling for clams.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

New item in today from Trinidad is Moon fish, A.K.A. the Sea Angel is a cross between Pompano and John Dory. A thin circular fillet is what you can expect from this shiny tropical beauty. These fish are averaging 1 to 3 lbs. each and can be served the same way you would any tropical fish.

Wild Cobia made it in on time today from Florida. Cobia gets its firm texture feeding on squid as it migrates its way from the Gulf of Mexico as far north as Maryland only turning back south to spawn in the warm Gulf.

Golden Tile is Rich in Omega 3 and 6 as well as Potassium. This always popular item gets its unique flavor from a steady diet of shrimp, crab, and urchin. This shy species burrows into the sea floor, and waits for their next meal to happen by.

Wahoo/Ono are built like a torpedo, and swim almost as fast. That along with the fight they put up when hooked make them a popular choice for sport fisherman. Despite their athletic ability the flesh of Wahoo is flaky and delicate. High in protein and B vitamins Wahoo makes a great special to start off the week.




Have a great day!

Everyone must take advantage of the fact that we have Coho Salmon in the house today, the season will be ending soon and it will become difficult for everyone across the board to get any.  Great looking fish today, the texture is firm with high fat content, the taste is pleasingly full of salmon flavor but slightly milder than that of sockeye.  Take Advantage NOW!

Fresh Sardines from Portugal will also be available.  When fresh, small sardines have a delicate flavor while larger fish have a fuller, oilier flavor similar to anchovies but milder.  In the US, most sardines are canned in oil or a sauce, smoked, pickled or salted.  Today we offer them to you fresh!

Wonderful Boston Mackerel is ready to go, mackerel is as leek oily fish that contains two kinds of meat, the red outer meat and the light inner meat.  It has a firm texture and distinct taste.  Boston Mackerel contains more that twice the amount of Omega3 fatty acid that Salmon, in other words Healthy Fish!

Live Sea Urchens will be available tomorrow, please get your order in since this is yet another item that words cannot express how rarely we will get this in, especially live!  Sea Urchin has a rich, creamy with a slight sweet taste.  It also has a briny slightly nutty flavor, the roe is also known to melt on the tongue and gives off an essence of the ocean in every taste.

Good Morning chefs and buyers,

Wild Edibles once again brings you a rare item to take advantage of, Canadian Red Shrimp A. K. A. Maine Shrimp.  The season usually opens December 15th but we were lucky enough to grab a hold of them now.  These small crustaceans with bulbous black eyes are colloquially dubbed "salad shrimp" because of their 2-4 inch physiques.  These shrimp have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than those reared in the Gulf of Mexico because of the colder waters.

Permanently gaping at both ends, these brittle-shelled bivalves are named for their resemblance to old-fashioned straight edge razors. Their sweet flavor excels in ant recipe calling for clams.

Fresh Jumbo Black Sea Bass available today, its tender mouth watering flesh is fit for the most formal occasions.  Their white flesh is sweet and the skin is often left on and fried or crisped.

Wild Striped Bass also known as Atlantic Striped Bass, Striper, or Rockfish is the state fish of Maryland, Rhode Island, South Carolina and the state saltwater fish of New York, New Jersey, Virginia, and New Hampshire. The fish we have right now are running around 12-15lb fish.

Also in the warehouse this morning from Florida is Red Grouper. Which is a member of the Sea Bass family and are found in warm tropical temperatures worldwide. Due to their preferred habitat around coral groupers are primarily accessible by hook and line.

John Dory, also known as St. Pierre or Peter’s Fish is an edible benthic coastal marine fish with a laterally compressed olive-yellow body which has a large dark spot, and long spines on the dorsal fin. The dark spot is used to flash an “evil eye” if danger approaches. Its large eyes at the front of the head provide it with binocular vision and depth perception, which are important for predators.

Good Morning chefs and buyers,

Great looking fresh Tile fish just came in this morning from the Carolinas, their diet consist of mainly crab and shrimp which gives them a firm but tender white meat with a delicate sweet flavor. Extra lean fish.

People just can’t get enough of these Nantucket Bay Scallops, taking the prize for best selling item for the past 2 weeks, a fresh batch of Nantucket Bay Scallops in house to start the week. The meat is actually the abductor muscle with a creamy to pink flesh and elastic to the touch. Flavor is mild and sweet with the texture being firm and moist.

Turbot finally back in house, turbot is a highly prized species (and often regarded as the best of the flat fish) with great flavor and firm white flesh. The texture is similar to halibut, but It has a slightly more pronounced “fishy” taste, so require very little to enhance the flavor. It’s a chefs dream, as it retains plenty of moisture during cooking, preventing it from drying out.

Red Drum Fish has a mild sweet flavor with firm flesh and large moist flakes. It is comparable to a Red Snapper. It has a fine texture and tender flesh, may not have much to go around so please grab up as soon as possible.

Cobia will also be the star for Wild Edibles this week. Raw cobia meat is light tan and when cooked turns snowy white. 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.

The popular Icelandic cod will make its mark this week as well, turning a bright white color when prepared our cod beacons from the plate. Cod has a wonderfully mild taste that is complemented by its large flakes and delicate texture. Cod is a versatile fish that adapts well to many spices, sauces and presentations.

In the US, most sardines are canned in oil or a sauce, smoked, pickled or salted. Today we offer them to you Fresh!
