Scottish Salmon fillets…
Salmon is in high demand. Consumption has been strongly driven by the attraction of fish as a convenient and enjoyable, highly nutritious food and by the widely recognised health benefits of the omega-3 fatty acids found in oil-rich fish, such as salmon.
Scottish salmon is a delicious and highly nutritious food containing protein, vitamins, trace elements and minerals, all vital ingredients for a healthy, balanced diet. The salmon industry has strived to produce high quality food, available to everyone, while respecting the environment on which it depends.
Head chefs and restaurant managers from throughout the Metroplex received valuable product information and amazing food samples at Frugé Seafood’s 1st Annual “School of Fish” Monday, October 3rd.
All attendees got to meet with four of Frugé Seafood’s vendors to gain specific insights about harvesting, grading and availability for oysters, tuna, scallops and farm-raised redfish and hybrid striped bass in an information-packed presentation at the Milestone Culinary Arts Center.
For more information, or to learn how you can attend the next Frugé Seafood “School of Fish,” contact Courtney Frugé at 972.606.0800.
Notes From Our Buyer
As you may have already heard, Gulf oyster sack production is zero in Texas. There was an algae bloom, aka “Red Tide” that occurred west of Galveston Bay. The tide moves west, so the oyster beds our partners use were not affected. However, the Texas Health Department closed the beds anyway. We need rain and high winds to move this algae bloom out. Until then, we are working on getting oysters sacks from Louisiana through our partner in Texas. Most of the oysters coming in are green tagged, which means that they have to be shucked or post harvest treated. However, we hope to get some oysters that are not green tagged for the weekend. Shucked oyster gallon production will not be affected.Redfish – Our redfish is farm-raised right here in Texas and is another great sustainable option for the menu. Everyone knows its name, and it is very easy to sell. It cooks up great any way!
Domestic Catfish
Production on the larger sizes are getting harder to find. 9-11 catfish fillets will be in short supply for a while. I don’t know how long, but it would be great if you could move to a 5-7 or 3-5.

Scallops
Scallops prices have come down a bit. Hopefully this will last for a while. This time of year prices will change more often than in a few months.

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.
