Swordfish
Whether grilled, broiled, baked, poached, or kabobed, swordfish is a favorite. Swordfish’s meaty texture and mild flavor are two reasons for its popularity. In addition to good taste, swordfish offers a low-fat, low-calorie choice for health-conscious consumers. And don’t forget the heart-healthy benefits of swordfish: rich in omega-3 fatty acids and other vitamins and minerals.
Notes from our buyer
___
Copper River Salmon
We should see Copper River and other sockeyes in the market through July, but this will all depend on Mother Nature. There are sockeyes coming from other areas like Prince William Sound, so if the price for true Copper River sockeye is too good to be true, it probably is.
___
Mediterranean Mussels
Our vendor on Mediterranean mussels will not be producing for a while. We will inform everyone when production starts again.
___
Gulf Oysters
Make sure you are buying what you think you are buying. Some people are selling a 30 pound box/sack of oysters and calling it 100-count. Count them and you will see that there are not always 100 oysters in there, and they are not graded. Contact your sales rep with questions.
Whole Salmon
Trout 6 oz Natural Cut
We will start bringing in this product as a great lunch item for your menu or special board. Is has a great presentation and good food cost.
___
Striped Bass
Beautiful farm-raised Texas striped bass is a perfect sustainable option for any menu! The fish is kept below 38 degrees from the time it is harvested from the water to the time it hits your door.
East Coast Soft Shells
Soft-shell crabs will be here for the weekend. We should have Jumbos and Whales.
Halibut
We have some really nice halibut with great prices. The season only lasts a little while, so get it while it lasts.
Redfish
Redfish production is tight again. We are receiving as much as we can from the farm, but they are not able to harvest all we are ordering. Drum is an excellent alternative.
Black Drum
Summer is here and drum prices are up. The product is beautiful and still at a nice price, just a little more than before.
Tuna
Prices are moving back up a bit with tuna catches being a little off. We are coming up on a full moon on July 2nd, so keep your fingers crossed for better catches.
Mahi Mahi
Mahi has tightened up this week. Very little product available and prices are high.
Fresh Crabmeat
The season is upon us and availability is strong.
American Red Snapper
This product is tight for a couple of reasons – the weather in the gulf is rough because of the storm, a lot of boats are shrimping, and some have filled their quotas.
We will be receiving some steelhead for the weekend.

Marlin
We will have a nice shot of marlin for the weekend.
