Cobia
Cobia has been said to be one of the best tasting fish in the sea—prefered over snapper, grouper, scamp and pompano. Known also as lemonfish beause they have a faint taste of lemon. Dark brown with a single dorsal fin, the cobia is often mistaken for a shark. Raw cobia meat is light tan, but cooked, it turns snowy white. It has a sweet, rich flavor which is firm with a nice flake. The oil content is similar to that of coho salmon.Cobia is low in calories and high in protein. The firm, moist flesh lends itself well to grilling and takes well to marinades and bold sauces. Fried, grilled, broiled, or sautéed, this fish is an excellent menu choice.

Salmon
Prices are starting to creep up slightly on North Sea Salmon and Canadian Salmon fillet. The current market on Chilean Salmon still remains a factor for the next few months. The increase on Chilean Salmon is attributed to several factors including, last year’s historic algae bloom, the current exchange rate, and slower growth rates.
This E.U Certified Organic salmon is unlike any other farm raised salmon where it is raised in the open ocean of the Shetland Islands, and not in a Loch or Bay like other farms raised salmons. Its certified sustainable aquaculture methods are free from all antibiotics, hormones, & GMO, and its feed is certified organic and uses no synthetic coloring or pigments added.
