Market Updates:
-Softshell production is currently limited due to the first phase of shedding coming to an end. Things should slowly pick up over the next week or two.
-Grouper supply has been limited, which mean prices are increasing
-Wild Striped Bass- the weather has slowed fishing, waters have warmed and some local fisherman have switched gears, however Massachusetts is opening and should allow for increased catch.
-Mahi prices are up again as most fishermen are currently out for sword.
-Wild Salmon- California Troll Kings Salmon season opens up this week, on top of Alaska’s current catch which will hopefully begin to open up availability. Sockeye production has been pretty slow as well.
-Black Bass prices are starting to move up as demand has increased across the US.
-Mussel reminder! As we enter the warmer months, please don’t forget to properly take care of your mussels- A lot of ICE!
