Market Update- Jan 21st

Featured Specialty Seafood:

MAHI MAHI

Product Of: Ecuador
Catch Method: Long Line
Sustainability: Good Alternative

*Mahi is a great option currently as availability has been steady and prices are low.*

Known for its electric greenish blue and yellow colors, Mahi is easily one of the most beautiful fish in the ocean. Mahi is found in the tropical and sub tropical waters around the world and was once a by-catch to the tuna and sword fisheries. Mahi has now grown into a directed long line fishery. It is sweet with a mildly pronounced flavor that is similar to swordfish. The meat is lean, firm in texture and has large, moist flakes. Mahi remains moist when cooked and holds up well to most preparations. Cooking methods include baking, broiling, frying, grilling or sautéing.

Market Updates:

  • The Chilean Salmon market demand remains strong, with limited supplies and firm prices.
  • Halibut availability remains strong as the new quota opened a couple weeks back.
  • Wild Striped Bass is currently unavailable due to slow fishing in areas, and met quotas in other areas.
  • Snapper and Grouper availability remains the same… very limited.
  • Tuna has been in pretty short supply but demand remains high which means product has been challenging to source.
  • Flounder has been in good supply and prices are expected to drop.
  • The Icelandic fishery has been landing great volumes.
  • Fishing on Lake Erie has slowed down due to sustained colder temperatures. The wind is expected to blow over the next couple days, so all the fishermen are currently in. Unfortunately the walleye supply over the next several days (into next week) is not going to be good.
  • The Live Lobster market remains steady with sold landings, and a little decrease in demand.
