West Coast Wild Rockfish
The rockfish is a family of fish that is a Pacific coast favorite and is the most important year-round source of ground fish on the west coast. They are found among rocks and reefs. Despite the variety of fish called rockfish, all rockfish are firm and lean with a mild flavor. The main difference between the varieties is the texture. Versatile and affordable, rockfish are a seafood staple. Taking on the colors around them, many rockfish take their names from their skin color. The brighter the coloration of the skin, the deeper the fish can be found. Ninety percent of rockfish are caught by trawlers.

Notes from our buyer
Crawfish season typically peaks in March, April, and May. As we get deeper into the summer we will start to see darker and harder shells on the crawfish as they prepare to bury themselves to avoid the warm temperatures. It’s time to take advantage of what May has to offer! Book your crawfish parties now!

Rainbow ‘Green’, Golden, and Ruby trout
Green trout is what the guys on the farm call the regular rainbow trout. Since they have ruby and golden as well, it is just a term they use to distinguish between the three. Our ‘green’ trout is what every sales person calls rainbow trout. Red and golden continue to be very tight. The end is not in sight yet.
