Market Updates:
-Mahi have been landing in Ecuador, however it has been a little difficult to source over the past week due to freight issues. Prices are stable.
-Atlantic Halibut is beautiful and consistent, however Pacific Halibut remains a struggle. There has been very very limited product coming from the west coast.
-Atlantic Salmon- Chilean prices have dropped, Canada remains steady.
-We saw another great week on Flounder as the boats have been out along the East Coast, landing both great fish at great prices.
-Don’t forget about Pacifico Striped Bass! Always a stable and sustainable menu option!
-The Black Bass catch is Massachusetts is close to quota, which allows for Rhode Island to reopen with strong quota.
-Monkfish prices have been all over, and typically higher than normal due to the weather and weak landings.
-Lakefish remains consistent, and in great demand! Walleye season is fully underway and perch have been coming in pretty consistently. White Bass is also available and a very cost effective option.
-Fresh Lobster markets are steady due to good weather.
-Florida Stone Crab Claw season started this week with decent landings in the pots. While the first run was great, the following two did not show as promising numbers which has fluctuated the price quite a bit.
