Wild Edibles Newsletter 12-2-2013

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,



In the warehouse this morning we have Pompano from Florida. This fish can be found inshore and near shore waters especially by oyster banks and over grass beds. Pompano usually weigh around 3 lbs fish and under. They feed on crustaceans, mollusks, especially sand fleas.




People just can’t get enough of these Nantucket Bay Scallops, a fresh batch of Nantucket Bay Scallops in house. 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.




Live Scallops need no introduction as to how delicious they are. The soft fleshy texture and delicately mild sweet flavor of scallops are enjoyed even by those who are not particularly fond of fish or shellfish. Once shucked expect a size of approximately a 10/20 Scallop.




We also have golden tilefish from the Carolina’s in the warehouse today. Tilefish can be harvested from southern New England to the Gulf of Mexico. They mostly feed on crustaceans such as shrimp and crab.




We also have Live Sea Urchin from Maine and Grouper from Florida in house today for you. Have a great day!
