Market Updates:
- Hurricane Dorian: Despite Miami not taking a direct hit, the impact of Hurricane Dorian will be felt for many days and affect the entire Atlantic Coast. The current path takes Dorian northward up the Atlantic Coast between Wednesday and Friday. By Saturday and Sunday, it will work its way into the North Atlantic off the coast of Canada. Much of the seafood directed through Miami has been delayed. Fishing vessels from Florida to Newfoundland, Canada will be driven into ports during the week which means we will see good supply of groundfish, sword and clams. As these fish gets to market, the supply behind it will be extremely limited. Expect Dorian to affect all seafood from the Atlantic most of next week, and all shellfish will be affected by storm surge and wind driven high water. Take advantage of the great supply, especially on sword, this week!
- Wild Salmon: We have moved from Sockeye to Coho in Alaska. The Coho run is not as large as the Sockeye run but a good run should supply us through the month of September. We’re expecting a Columbia River King Salmon run to move underway very soon. Last week’s opening was cancelled as escapement upriver hasn’t been as strong as necessary.
- Lake Fish: We are seeing a few more Walleye than we expect to see this early in September. We don’t expect the fall Walleye season to get going in full force until sometime between the 15th and 20th of the month. Yellow Perch fishing is still off but we are getting a few landings per week. (Enough to keep a little fish in inventory but not enough to lower the price.) We expect Yellow Perch fishing to improve as Walleye does in cooler weather.
