Market Update- Feb 20th

Featured Specialty Seafood:

California Halibut

Product of: USA
Catch Method: Long line
Sustainability: Good Alternative

California Halibut/ Flounder are long line caught along the sandy bottoms of California (from the Sea of Cortez up to Quillayute River in British Columbia). It is a great option for those looking for a milder fish that holds up well on the grill. California Halibut fillets are firm and tend to be on the leaner side which is different than other meaty grill favorites. Fillets are mild and delicate in flavor and are prized for their fine texture and large flake.

Shad Roe Sets

Product of: Maryland
Catch Method: Gill Net

A sign that spring is almost near… the start of Shad Roe season! Shad is an American Saltwater fish (a type of herring) that is prized for its ruby red sac that contains the fish’s eggs, a delicacy known as shad roe. Although it is not the most attractive seafood to look at, it certainly stands out for its bright red color. Shad Roe has a delicate and subtle taste that easily takes on the flavor of whatever you cook it with. The Shad season is short lived, so we suggest getting it while you can! We will be bringing product in over the next few weeks, but pre-order options are available as well!

Caribbean Red Snapper

Product Of: Mexico
Catch Method:Hook/Line

Always a favorite, Caribbean Red Snapper is loved for its fine, delicate texture and sweet flavor. It is best when prepared with the skin on to hold together the delicate texture and also seal in the flavor. Caribbean Red Snapper goes well with citrus sauces or flavors like that of lemon, lime, grapefruit and orange. It is extremely healthy with an abundance of vitamins and essential nutrients which makes it a great substitute for low-calorie fats
and red meats.
