Wild Edibles Newsletter 5-30-2013
Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,
It’s Thursday which means it’s time to start planning your weekend specials. Hopefully the hot weather will bring in the customers that may have been at the beach last weekend. Soft Shell Blue Crabs are a classic summer favorite perfect for this weather. This week they're coming from North Carolina and the overwhelming Majority are jumbo size, so stay away from hotels and primes and plan for a larger crab.
Other summer staples like 16/20 Fresh Gulf Shrimp from Florida and Wild King Salmon from California are here this weekend. The Kings look to be creeping down in price which is usually a sign of the impending "Salmon Runs" which mark the beginning of open season. Golden Tile Fish, also from Florida, are back today after a brief absence.
Pristine Arctic Char arrived today fresh from Iceland. Char continues to be one of our best sellers, and unlike the Canadian Char which tends to be a softer, paler fillet, the Icelandic version sports a more robust orange color and a pleasing texture. These 3lb fish have a flavor similar to salmon, but slightly milder which lends to any cooking preparation you choose. Your customers will also appreciate that Arctic Char is ranked atop all major seafood sustainability lists.
Tomorrow and for the weekend be aware that Wild Striped Bass and Swordfish will be limited in supply. The only state allowed to catch Wild Striped Bass at the moment is Rhode Island. Until next week when Maryland opens, there will be a finite amount of boats on the water and thus a depleted supply to the New York City area. Swordfish is more of a mystery. What we do know is keep substitutes in mind when ordering these two fish this weekend.

Wild Edibles Newsletter 5-29-2013
Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,
With boats out yesterday the market was fully stocked again today and we have a few new items to highlight. At the top of our specials list is Fresh Lump and Jumbo Lump Blue Crab meat straight from Louisiana. While we had a extended cold up here in the Northeast this winter and early spring, the Gulf experienced record levels of rainfall this winter and many local regional species have been slow to reappear. Thankfully the water temperatures are finally rising in the bayou; ushering out the first hard-shell Blue Crabs of the year.
The California Wild King Salmon we mentioned yesterday have arrived and look better than advertised.
Razor Clams from Maine have been awesome this spring compared to a relatively brief 2012 season. Grab some today before production shifts towards Steamer Clams in the summer.
Spanish Turbot is a new addition to our product list that we are very excited about. Weighing 2-3lbs each, they have an impressive yield for a flatfish and in our opinions are a better quality product than Chilean Turbot.
"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." -Michael Jordan

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,
We hope you enjoyed the holiday weekend; whether it was spent relaxing or packing in customers. Most boats were docked yesterday, so the market was unusually limited for a Tuesday. Tomorrow we should be back in full swing with a few special items to consider.
Wild Salmon season isn't fully open yet, but we are seeing some fantastic Wild King Salmon from California delivered tonight in time for tomorrow's delivery. These fish are Troll Caught near the mouth of the Columbia River as they prepare to make their run upstream. Scottish Salmon is new tomorrow as well. We have decided to switch back to the Loch Duart Scottish Salmon due to the superior quality at the same great value.
Rhode Island fishermen deserve the credit for this week's fantastic Wild Striped Bass and Black Sea Bass. Both species are in-house today and they look extremely fresh. Halibut from Nova Scotia continues to impress. We have a variety of sizes, but the best Halibut are arriving at a very manageable 15-20lb size.
Florida's best Red Grouper are also available today and should be for the rest of the week. Weighing 5lbs and up, this is a great summer choice for any station, including the grill.
One warning for the week is the lack of cockles until at least Thursday. Torrential rain in New Zealand wiped out our normal Tuesday delivery, and while we hope to get more in Thursday there is no guarantee at this time. Look to substitute manila clams in the meantime.

Also in the warehouse today is Black fish which is also known as Tautog. They can be found from Nova Scotia to South Carolina. They prefer structured habitat and are frequently found near piers.

Red grouper is in the warehouse from Florida. Grouper 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.
We will be closed in observance of Memorial Day May 27, 2013. Please keep in mind we will be short or out of Uni, Fresh crabmeat, 800/1000 Branzino, 600/800 Dourade.

Good Morning chefs and buyers,
Today we have amazing turbot in from Spain. Turbot can be found in European waters from the Mediterranean and the North Sea to Iceland and Normandy. Turbot has white meat and a firm texture. Turbot is best prepared simply. The idea is to accent, and not mask its delicate flavor.
Opah racks landed at J.F.K. from Hawaii this morning. Long line Tuna fishermen snag these beauties from time to time during their short trips in the deep waters of the south Pacific making them a wonderful special to offer this week . Before Opah became commercially viable , Opah was thought of as a good luck sign by fishermen and given away to friends as a way to pass the good fortune along.
Tomorrow we will also 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.
Also in house we have beautiful black cod, or sablefish, which is long-line caught in the deep, cold, clean waters of Alaska. The best fish are harvested in the summer and fall when the fish feed heavily on crab and squid building up oil reserves.
Other specials in house are local jumbo black sea bass. Also Swordfish and Mahi will be coming in overnight to the warehouse as well.

Also in the house is Pike from The Great Lakes. This fish is a voracious predator which consumes three to four times its weight during the course of the year. Their diet includes crayfish, frogs, small mammals, birds and anything within its reach.
Please keep in mind this weekend we will not have any Grouper or Uni in the warehouse. Have a great weekend!

We also have crayfish from Louisiana. Crayfish also known as crawfish or crawdads are fresh water crustaceans resembling small lobsters. Crayfish are eaten worldwide. Like other edible crustaceans, only a small portion of the body of crayfish is edible. In most prepared dishes, such as soups, bisques and etoufees, only the tail portion is used.
Also in the house today we have Norwegian Cod which has been an important economic food group since the Viking period around 800 A.D. Norwegian Cod is a firm textured fish with large flakes and has a mild sweet taste.
Once again we got in beautiful east coast Canadian halibut. This fish 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 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.
