DELTA MADE US DO IT -
NEW MASK RULES
Because of the upsurge of Delta variant Covid, 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.

NB. The Burhop family lost a very dear friend to Covid on Sept. 6. He was vaccinated and wore a mask in public, the person who exposed him did not. Because of his age and underlying health conditions, Covid won. His wife is recovering from Covid, plus facing his absence after a long happy marriage. Please, for the sake of your loved ones, and for good people like our friend Don, get vaccinated, wear a mask.
grilling fish
FRESH SEAFOOD SPECIALS 9/17-19:
Still summer weather outside - what could be better than grilling up some snapper, steelhead or trout and serving it with one of our tasty side dishes? No mess or heat in the kitchen, dinner is ready in minutes!
FRESH WILD RED SNAPPER
Was $34.95/lb. SALE $32.95/lb.*
Absolutely great for grilling - firm meaty flesh. Try it with our Tahitian Marinade for a real treat! Also great topped with one of our fresh pestos. 
FRESH RUBY RED TROUT
Was $17.95/lb. SALE $15.95/lb.
Our favorite fish for doing with a nut crust - just grind up some almonds, pecans or pistachios (macadamia good too) rub the fish with a little olive oil, press the ground nuts evenly onto the fillet and bake or saute. Can also be done on the grill with a grill topper, just cook it nut side up the whole time. Drizzle with a little lemon dill.
FRESH NORWEGIAN
STEELHEAD TROUT FILLETS 
Reg. $19.95/lb. SALE $17.95/lb.*
Norwegian Fjord Trout is well known for its superb quality and has become a favorite among chefs all over the world. Fjord trout is more sensitive to high temperatures than Norwegian salmon and is therefore perfect for marinated and lightly cooked dishes. There are several varieties of trout. Freshwater trout and sea trout are referred to as common trout and are related to Atlantic salmon. 
   The trout farmed in Norway is steelhead trout, which was brought to Norway from North America in the late 1800s. Steelhead is the same species as rainbow trout, but a member of the family that has learned to move from fresh water to sea water and back to spawn. Unlike its salmon cousins, it lives to spawn again. Steelhead is good in most recipes for trout or salmon - we love it baked with a thin layer of Jaime's Artichoke Pesto. Check out more preparations Here: Trout recipes
EZ PEEL SHRIMP
Was $12.95/lb. SALE $10.95/lb.
Great for kebabs - or in any of your favorite shrimp recipes. Peel for kebabs, leave the shell on for more flavor when you sauté. One of our favorites is Garlic Basil Shrimp - check out our other favorites HERE: Shrimp Recipes.
PURE & SIMPLE DELI DEALS:
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.
JAIME'S GAZPACHO
Reg. $7.95/lb. SALE $6.95/lb.*
We have a customer who comes every week and buys a quart of this - he loves it. Made from fresh locally grown vegetables, this chilled soup not only tastes amazing on a hot summer's day, it makes you feel instantly healthier. So much goodness! Great for lunch, a light dinner, or a first course for dinner, or just for a healthy snack. No heating, just eating!

BURHOP'S FRESH 
CALICO COUSCOUS
Reg. $8.95/lb. SALE $6.95/lb.*
A great side dish with grilled or baked fish, our ingredients vary according to what's available fresh from farmer's markets this time of year. Always fresh, always tasty, always healthy!

FRESH LOCAL CORN IS STILL HERE! GET IT BEFORE THE SEASON ENDS
Our fabulous fresh, Illinois-grown sweet corn is back! This is one of the best treats of summer. Great with your grilled fish or shrimp, you can drop in boiling water for a couple of minutes, or pull back the husk, remove the silk, put the husk back, soak in cold water for 15 minutes and throw on the grill with your fish. Or Jaime just puts it par cooked and shucked on the grill, just long enough to get some grill marks. Yummy! So good, it doesn't even need butter.

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. This summer we did a lobster boil for a nearby business - 28 very happy employees, and a a balcony birthday party in Evanston, all socially distanced.
   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.
