An Inside Look at Exciting New Products, Market Trends & Availability
Fun Facts! There's always a lot going on the week before a busy time such as Memorial Day. Here are some great facts!
Did You Know? One 7 oz portion of Open Blue Cobia has as many heart healthy omega 3's as 67 7 oz ribeye steak portions? Raised 7 miles off the coast of Panama in giant, deep water pens, Open Blue Cobia loins offer a firm and juicy meat perfect for grilling or sashimi. It's also a fantastic alternative to limited Chilean Sea Bass. Samuels has Open Blue Cobia on special for the rest of May.
Looking California- California Swordfish are being caught at the perfect time for your holiday grilling. Just North of California, we're also bringing in West Coast Sole. Also known as Petrale Sole, this fish is in the Flounder family and an amazing alternative to Fluke. It's often regarded as one of the finest tasting flatfish.
Here's Something Else Interesting- Wild Striped Bass season in Rhode Island opens up on May 28th and last until the end of August. We're hoping for an exciting season. Until then, speak with your sales agent regarding availability as Stripers may be limited.
Copper That - The famous Copper River in Alaska opened on May 18th. The first shipment of fish landed early the next day and contained 22,000 lbs of Salmon. But please keep in mind, this was a short opening and Salmon fans all over the world are buying fish. We'll keep you updated for first of the season Copper River Wild Alaska Salmon.
Tilefish, AKA Clowns of the Sea- Golden Tilefish are often referred to as "Clowns of the Sea" for their unique appearance and color. With warmer weather here, we're beginning to bring in more Golden Tilefish from our friends at Viking Village located in Barnegat Light, NJ with vessels including "The Eaglet." Keep an eye out for other local fish including trap caught Porgies, dayboat Squid and more. Black Sea Bass and Fluke have experienced cut quotas which has decreased availability. We have the highest quality fish, so reach out to your sales agent for more information.
