Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

We have a fresh batch of the popular skate cheeks this morning. We should be able to please everyone this week. Skate is a very unique and popular fish with white sweet tasting flesh and has cartilage frame rather than bones. Skate Cheeks are a really great tasting rare treat.

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 Sea Urchin available today. 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.

Beautiful medium Stone crab claws in this morning from Florida. Stone crab claws are one of the most sustainable items you can offer due to the manner in which they’re harvested. Crabs are trapped and only one claw is taken from each crab then they are released. This gives them one arm left to survive in the wild and the time to regenerate a new claw for us to eat next season.

Good Morning Chefs and Buyers,

This morning we have Spanish turbot back in the warehouse. Turbot is 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. During the cooking process it retains plenty of moisture.

The ever popular Jumbo black sea bass is available for you today. With multiple states open right now there is plenty of black see bass to go around for everyone. Its tender mouthwatering flesh is fit for the most formal of occasions. Their white flesh is sweet and the skin is often left on to be fried or have it crispy.

Cobia are pelagic and are normally solitary except during spawning, however they will congregate at reefs, wrecks, harbors, buoys and other structure. They may also enter estuaries and mangroves in search of prey. Cobia is distributed worldwide in tropical, subtropical and warm-temperate waters.

We have beautiful Razor Clams from Maine in the warehouse today. Razor clams have a firm texture, mild brininess and a mild clam flavor. They usually are cut into steaks, diced, ground to use in chowders, fritters, etc.,
