Corvina
The corvina, better known as “drums or croakers” are found in many different parts of the world. Drum fish and croaker fish are differentiated by whether they produce a drumming sound or a croaking sound when they pop their heads above the water. Corvina has a mild, sweet taste with firm, large flaked flesh which is pinkish when raw but cooks up white. The flesh resembles Snapper. In South America Corvina is regarded as a prime table fish and is very popular for ceviche.

Gulf sacks and gallons are available. This week we have standard gallons, select gallons and oyster jars.
The availability on jumbo sized redfish (2.5-3lb) is starting to decline. Extra Jumbo (3lb and up) are in decent supply and will be more available than the smaller sizes. Striped Bass is a great option this time of year as well.
___
This E.U Certified Organic salmon is unlike any other farm raised salmon where it is raised in the open ocean of the Shetland Islands, and not in a Loch or Bay like other farms raised salmons. Its certified sustainable aquaculture methods are free from all antibiotics, hormones, & GMO, and its feed is certified organic and uses no synthetic coloring or pigments added.
Scallops
Scallop prices are holding steady this week. We expect decent supplies for the coming weeks. I have heard that scallop prices will start to creep up in October.
Tuna production is looking good with prices coming down a bit. We will have great 2+ and #1 fish arriving this week.
Drum arriving this week from Hackberry, LA. Great blackened, fried, baked, grilled, or any way you choose. Get with your sales rep for an order, this fish sells fast!
We have a variety of seabass sizing options. We continue to carry H&G 20-30 kg as well as a smaller 10-20 kg if that is more of what you’re looking for. Prices are continuing to move up..
Crawfish season has ended. We have Frozen Cooked Crawfish for your whole crawfish needs.
Swordfish is continuing to run good this week with prices still looking very good.
Ever tried it? This is a great fish that is perfect for grilling or baking. The ferocious-looking wolfish gets its name from the sharp, protruding teeth it uses to feast on lobsters, clams and other shellfish. Found from southern New England to Greenland and the Barents Sea, the bottom dwelling cold water creature is primarily a bycatch of trawl fisheries targeting cod, haddock and other ground fish. Iceland, which has a direct fishery for the species, is the largest producer.
The larger sizes of the Ruby Trout are getting harder to get. The fish are not growing as fast as we would like. For the next month 8-10 oz and 10-12 oz Ruby will not be available.
The rainbow trout supply seems to be stable. The variety of the cuts and sizes of this fish never cease to amaze me. There are many options to meet your menu specifications.
