– Gray Tilefish

As the secret ingredient on an episode of “Chopped Champions”, gray tilefish made a splash in the headlines and because a very delicious hit. The gray (or blue line) tilefish are one of two species of tilefish found in plenty in the Florida waters, with adults weighing an average of 10-25 pounds. Generally located in temperate waters, tilefish are bottom feeders with strong teeth. They feed on shrimp, crabs, shellfish, sea urchins, sea cucumbers, squid and occasionally fish. Because of their diet, tilefish are firm but tender white meat with a delicate sweet flavor. A very lean fish and perfect for the most select of menus.  #FrugeSeafood

Notes from our buyer

Wild Salmon

Troll Caught Kings are available but pricey.  Also we have been bringing in some beautiful farmed raised Ora Kings although this product has been very limited as well.

___

East Coast Oysters

Several varieties of east coast oysters are available, including Chesapeake Bay, Naked Cowboys and James River.

____

Redfish

Redfish is a great farmed product for your menu. Quantities are increasing, and we are seeing some of the Jumbo fish already. Forecast look good for supplies in the coming months. Please get with your sales team and place your orders.

____
Halibut

Just landed from Alaska over 400lbs of halibut, prices are increasing as the supply is still tight but the larger fish are still available (40-60). This may be one of the last shipments that we see with the season winding down.

____

Cod, Sole, and Haddock 

Some great looking Cod, but the price is climbing back up this week. Also in house is some 4-6 oz. Lemon Sole. Get with your sale team as supplies may be tight.

____
Salmon

Chilean salmon prices have flatten out as we have seen the same price for two consecutive weeks.  We expect to see a jump next week with the holiday in Chile. We are also getting in large whole salmon from the North Sea, primarily from Faroe Islands.

____

Gulf Oysters

The Gulf is open and the labor force is back to work. We are seeing a good supply of sacks and even the supply of gallons are picking up. We expect to see selects gallons next week, although the price may still be a little high.

___

American Red Snapper

American red snapper is everywhere, supply has simply opened up on this product.  The price has dropped due to the amount available.  We are buying it directly off the boats with a team that is hand grading it for us. We can get you the size that you want, just ask!

Scallops

Scallop prices have taken a big jump.  We expect to see this price continue to climb until after the first of the year. There is a good supply of the larger scallops but it is tight on the smaller stuff.

___

Tuna

The market seems to be better this week with prices falling a little bit. We currently have both Big Eye and Yellow Tail in house. So if you looking for a higher oil content Big Eye is the way to go.

___

Mahi Mahi

___

Grouper

Grouper prices are down a little; let’s hope this trend continues.  There seems to be a good supply of fish this week.

___

Many of you may be considering black drum as an alternative to redfish.  As the temperature states to fall we are seeing a better supply of drum. This time of the year we seem to see more smaller fish 1-4 lbs.
