DELTA MADE US DO IT -
CONTINUING MASK RULES
Because of the upsurge of Delta-variant Covid and the new threat of Omicron, we are asking that everyone wear a mask in the store. We are a small space, and Delta has been infecting the vaccinated as well those who still haven't figured out how serious this is and aren't vaccinated. Please do not yell at our staff - they are dealing with the public every day, and we want them to be safe.
IF JUST ONE PERSON ON OUR STAFF GETS SICK, WE WILL HAVE TO CLOSE FOR 2 WEEKS. THAT WOULD BE A HUGE FINANCIAL PROBLEM FOR US AS A SMALL BUSINESS WITH PERISHABLE PRODUCT. A MASK IS NOT PUNISHMENT, IT'S NOT POLITICAL, IT'S A WAY TO PREVENT THE TRANSMISSION OF GERMS.

MAHI MAHI FILLETS
Reg. $25.95/lb. SALE $23.95/lb.

FRESH RAINBOW TROUT FILLETS

STONE CRAB CLAWS ARE BACK!
Not all wonderful seafood appears in the spring - the stone crab boats go out in the fall, and harvest these delicious delicacies that don't require the crab to croak. Stone crabs have two claws, the fishermen cut off the bigger one and throw the crab back to grow a new one. That's how they maintain the resource. Pre-cooked on the boats or when they land, these are ready to eat. Great with our Stone Ground Mustard Sauce. Crack them open in the palm of your hand with a heavy spoon.

All our fresh deli foods are made here in our kitchen, not brought in in big tubs from somewhere else. We use organic and locally grown ingredients (when available). See something you've never tried? Ask us for a taste.

NEW! PUMPKIN PIE TARTS &
PUMPKIN SCONES
Just because we're a fish store doesn't mean we can't get in on the fall pumpkin craze! Our multi-talented resident baker, Claire, has created a new fall scone - pumpkin - to join her other customer favorites, blueberry and cranberry orange. Then Sean decided we should have a pumpkin pie tart. We love it when our kids come up with delicious ideas! Our pumpkin treats will be here through Christmas, then gone until next fall. Get 'em while you can! Claire is working on some new scone flavors for the holidays. Stay tuned!

NEW CHECK OUT SYSTEM
We have just launched a new checkout system, tied into new scales, which we are not used to yet. Instead of having specials that last for two months, we will be having specials posted in the store in addition to the ones in our twice weekly blasts. Once we get used to making all the changes required for sale items, we may go back to the way we were doing things. In the meantime, daily specials will be posted on whiteboards in the store.
Our goal is to come into the 21st century with our check out system - we hope it will improve your shopping experience as well as our efficiency!

Pick up some suggested party menu ideas the next time you're in the store - enjoy your guests, let us do the work!
In late June we catered a fun event for a family in Wilmette - a combined 40th and 5th birthday party, father and son. Another father and son duo, Burhop's Chef Jaime and his son Jonny, cooked up kebabs, lobster tails, sweet corn and more for a happy crowd of many ages. According to the hostess:
"An AMAZING feast thanks to you, John and Jamie. The food was amazing and the chefs could not have been nicer. Everyone was raving and we certainly let them know who to call! Thank you again, you have very satisfied customers."

Recently we did an oyster bar for a party in Hinsdale, and a lobster tail birthday party in Kenilworth.
And in early October, we did a socially distanced wedding reception with individual lobster boil dinners.
If you have something to celebrate, do it with great seafood! We will custom design a menu, just for you. To find out more, email us at nbburfish@gmail.com, or call us at 630-887-4700.
