Haddock, a “best choice” for your menu.

Haddock is a white fish that is firm with a mild flavor and should be your “best choic.” Not only a favorite for your customer, but this story has a winning story attached to it. “Once seriously overfished, haddock have staged a remarkable recovery. So much so that line-caught haddock is now rated in the ‘best’ category—proof that with proper management, wild fish populations can recover. ”

Haddock is a relative to cod but is a smaller fish than cod. It can be found in the North Atlantic, on both the European and the North American coast. It’s a popular fish with a white under-belly and a black line running across its top. It can grow to be about 3.6 feet long and is fished year round. Interestingly, haddocks in the last few decades are now growing larger more quickly, and the juveniles, which tend to stay in fairly shallow water, are now found in larger sizes. It is an excellent source of dietary protein and also contains a good deal of vitamin B12, pyridoxine, and selenimum with a healthy balance of sodium and potassium, and very little fat.

Notes from our buyer

Live Crawfish

We will start grading small amounts of crawfish this week. Storms have limited the catch early this week, but the weekend looks to be much better.

____

Gulf Oysters

We are now offering gulf oysters harvested from specific appellations in Galveston Bay.  These oysters will take on the flavor profile of the area where they are harvested.  We will be receiving some Drum Village, Old Yellow, and Resignation Reef oysters for the weekend.  Ask your sales person for more details.

___

Jonah Crabmeat

We are offering beautiful Jonah all leg crabmeat.  This meat is from the east coast and has a sweet flavor.  This is a great item for the feature board.  We also have scored Jonah crab claws.  This is sold by pre-orders only.

___

American Red Snapper

High winds have hurt the fishing in the Gulf.  I hope it gets back to normal for next week.

Scallops

Looks like U/10 dry scallops are going to be tight for the next two years.  The quotes are shrinking, and the product projections are not looking good.  Prices have already begun to rise.

___

Tuna

Prices are back up a little due to catches tightening up a bit.  I think it is going to be higher next week with even lower catches.

___

Mahi Mahi

___

Salmon fillets

We’ve got Chilean 3-5, Bay of Fundy, and North Sea fillets.

___

Branzini

We have some nice 400-600 gram whole fish.  This is great for serving whole, or we can cut it into fillets for you.

___

East Coast Oysters

We can get some nice Lucky Lime, Pickle Point, and Raspberry Point, all from the east coast.  We also have an east coast oyster list; get with your sales rep if you’d like to receive that list via email.

___

Swordfish

Hopefully the full moon with help with swordfish catches soon.  Availability is low.

___

Grouper

Looks like grouper is being caught more than before.  Quality is excellent.
