– Mahi

A tropical, warm water fish, Mahi (or Mahi Mahi) is referred to as “dolphin fish” (not to be confused with “flipper”). They get their name from swimming with the mammal dolphin. A full flavored fish with meat that is firm and quite versatile in cooking. Great for grilling, deep frying, stir frying and recently a popular ingredient in tacos. Darker in appearance, the Mahi meat has become increasingly popular for chefs looking for a more exotic variety for their menu.

Notes from our buyer

Wild Salmon

We will have Coho this week.  This is a seasonal product, so make sure you are maximizing this fantastic product on your menus while it is available. Please let your Frugé Seafood sales representative know your needs.

___

East Coast Oysters

Several varieties of east coast oysters are available.  Ask your sales rep about your options, and they can also assist you with flavor profiles.  Blue Points are still a little sporadic, but we are bringing them in as often as we can.

____

Redfish
Redfish is a great farmed product for your menu.

____
Halibut
We have beautiful fish direct from Alaska.  The price is looking better for next week.

____

Cod, Sole, and Haddock 
We bring these delicate fish direct to our customers from Boston and only order what you need in order to provide you with a beautiful, fresh product every time. Get your pre-orders in early.

____
Salmon
Chilean salmon prices are stable.  The Chilean holiday next week may cause a little fluctuation in price and/or availability, but we aren’t expecting any shortages.  We are also getting in large whole salmon from the North Sea (country of origin can be Scotland, Faroe Islands, or Norway).  The shortages in Europe appear to have stabilized, and we are seeing improvements in price.

____

Gulf Oysters

The first three weeks of September are usually the worst for oysters.  The Red Tide in Texas has made an already bad situation worse.  We are seeing very few Gulf Oysters and no Fresh Meat is available.  This will continue for at least two more weeks. We are offering frozen meat to existing customers.

___

American Red Snapper

American red snapper continues to be tight, but we do have them.  We also have beautiful lanes and yellowtail snapper.

Scallops

Scallop prices are expected to begin increasing again.  We continue to have the larger product available but also offer a U/12 product for customers who are more price-sensitive.

___

Tuna

Tuna prices are really up this week, but we are seeing some great quality fish.

___

Mahi Mahi

___

Grouper

Grouper prices are down a little; let’s hope this trend continues.  Ask your sales rep about the pre-cut Mexican fillets; these are great for your more price sensitive dishes.

___

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.
