Mahi
A tropical, warm water fish, Mahi (or Mahi Mahi) is referred to as “dolphin fish” (not to be confused with “flipper”). They get their name from swimming with the mammal dolphin. A full flavored fish with meat that is firm and quite versatile in cooking. Great for grilling, deep frying, stir frying and recently a popular ingredient in tacos. Darker in appearance, the Mahi meat has become increasingly popular for chefs looking for a more exotic variety for their menu.

Steelhead Trout

____
Cod, Sole, and Haddock
We bring these delicate fish direct to our customers from Boston and only order what you need in order to provide you with a beautiful, fresh product every time.
____
Salmon
Global demand coupled with lower production has salmon prices rising, especially in Chile. Several farms have overharvested to avoid the ISA and other issues. This has left these farms with little to no product. Several large frozen programs continue to scoop up a large amount of salmon as well. We are hoping to see more production in the next two months, but we will have to wait and see. We are also getting in large whole salmon from the North Sea (country of origin either Scotland, Faroe Islands, or Norway). Recent shortages in Europe have also been driving up the price.
____
Summer is here and oysters will continue to be tight. Public seasons are closed, forcing our vendors to turn to their private leases. This means that there are fewer areas to fish from and a more limited supply to sort through. We will continue to support our loyal customers, as always, through this challenging time.
___
Product continues to be tight, but we do have them.

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.
