Wahoo

Ono, another name for wahoo, means “sweet, very good to eat” in Hawaiian. A wahoo is a close relative to the king mackerel. Built like a torpedo, they are fast swimmers. Ono feed near the surface in 30 to 50 fathoms along coastal ledges and are occasionally caught in open deep water. The vast majority of ono are caught in Hawaiian waters by trollers.

This well-known Pacific fish is deliciously cooked in a variety of ways. The fillets of the wahoo are white and firm with a flaky and delicate texture. It’s flavor is mild. Wahoo is delicious sauteed, baked, broiled, or fried. Hawaii wahoo is an excellent source of healthy, extra lean protein. It is also low in saturated fat and low in sodium.

Notes from our buyer

Wild Salmon

Copper River sockeyes are not as readily available, and the price is way up, so if the price for true Copper River sockeye sounds too good to be true, it probably is. We do have Cook Inlet sockeye and king salmon available.

____

Amberjack

Our Louisiana Gulf amberjack is out of season as the quota has been harvested. We will let you know as soon as it re-opens.

____
Halibut
Very few landings over the holiday weekend have the price of this fish sky-rocketing. New boats will be landing Thursday, and we will have more Alaskan product for next week. In the meantime, we will be offering east coast halibut.

____
Soft shell crabs
We have some beautiful soft shells, whales and jumbos, for your feature board.  Get them while the season lasts

____

Cod, Sole, and Haddock
High winds on the east coast all weekend prevented the long trip boats from going out, and prices are up and availability low on these New England favorites.

____
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).

____

Gulf Oysters

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.

___

American Red Snapper

Product continues to be tight, but we do have them.

Scallops

Looks like U/10 dry scallops are going to be tight for the next two years.  The real value is in the U/12’s.

___

Tuna

Our tuna is great. Prices are very nice right now.  Get it while it lasts.

___

Mahi Mahi

___

East Coast Oysters

Blue Points are back. Several other varieties of east coast oysters are also available. Ask your sales rep about your options, and they can also assist you with flavor profiles.

___

Grouper

Grouper is really coming in now.  Prices are nice.
