Mako Shark…
The mako shark has deep blue coloring on its back, a white underbelly, and a forked tail. Harvesting shark is extremely dangerous, and many fishermen have been badly wounded in the process, as even a severed mako head has been known to bite. Makos are not considered safe until on ice in the ship’s hold.
Mako is often mistaken for swordfish, as it is similar in taste, texture and appearance. Cooked meat is off-white. Mako shark makes a delicious choice for any menu due to its medium full-bodied and slightly sweet flavor. It’s firm texture allows it to be marinated, broiled, grilled or cubed for soups, stews, and kebabs.

Tilapia
Fresh and frozen tilapia have both seen price increases. The increase on the fresh is due to higher feed and fuel costs. The frozen is a combination of higher costs and flooding in Indonesia and China, where the majority of frozen tilapia is produced.
