– Atlantic Cod
The Atlantic cod is a large headed fish that is powerfully built and known for it’s overhanging upper jaw and a single long chin barbel. The coloring varies depending on it’s habitat, from reddish to brownish with a white lateral line. Cod have a lean, mild flavor with a tender firm texture, and sometimes are referred to as the Chicken of the Sea.
Because of the lean meat that cod has, it is best to cook it with moist heat. Probably one of the most common ways of cooking cod is either breaded or battered and fried. But with such a mild flavor, cod is an excellent fish for such seasonings as dill, basil, tarragon and ginger.

Our farmed striped bass is from right here in Texas, this allows us to give our customers the longest possible shelf life possible. Prices have soften a little and we feel that they should remain stable through the end of the year.
Black Drum
Many of you may be considering black drum as an alternative to redfish. The product is available, but can be limited in the summer, so make sure we know your needs.
The domestic crabmeat has started to pick up with the cooler weather. Venezuela crab is off conservation and we expect to see a fall in the prices in the coming weeks do to a good supply in the near future.
Our catfish is farmed right here in Texas. Prices are on the steady rise as the supply is very tight. It appears to be tight for the remainder of the year.

Opah landed this week from Hawaii! If there is something that you looking for from that regions let us know.
We have a variety of seabass options. We continue to carry H&G (20-30 kg) as well as a smaller 10-20kg if that is more of what you’re looking for. The Seabass is on the rise and will continue to increase as the Halibut season draws to an end. There seems to be a little delay in getting Seabass cleared into the US due to the government being shut down.
___
We offer a full range of sizes of live lobsters straight from Maine and Canada. Order today, and we will get them to you tomorrow. Lobster prices are on the rise: lobster are moving into deeper water and not as active as before.
___
Rainbow ‘Green’, Golden, and Ruby trout
Ruby trout supply seems to remain tight. The low water supply this summer has created a shortage on the larger red meat fish from Idaho. The water supply is back up now, and the product will be more plentiful in the near future.
