Cooking preparations include baking, broiling, grilling, poaching, sauteing and steaming.

Market Updates:

-Pacific Halibut season is over. Atlantic Halibut supply will be limited through the Holidays.
-Nantucket Bay scallops will be available through most of February…. This is one of the few true dayboat fisheries and a lot depends on catches, etc. The price can make dramatic swings. Wind often affects the fishery and when it gets below freezing they aren’t allowed to fish because the juvenile scallops that are supposed to get released die on the deck of the ship.
-Demand has stayed somewhat low on Atlantic salmon, bringing the prices down in Canada and Norway. The Chilean market remains steady.
-Mahi supply for the week is tight.
-Sea Scallop prices continue to increase by the week.
-Flounder prices continue to remain low, and landings are steady.
-Great landings on Black Bass this week with attractive prices.
-Live Lobster landings have slowed.
-Mussels have had steady prices and high quality product coming in.
