MASKS ARE NOW OPTIONAL
We've been wearing masks for two years to keep ourselves and our customers safe. We will continue to do so, and some of our customers will as well. If you are showing any signs of illness, please place a curbside pickup order, 630-887-4700, $25 minimum.
IF JUST ONE PERSON ON OUR STAFF GETS SICK, WE WILL HAVE TO CLOSE FOR UP TO 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.

HOW TO RECOGNIZE FAKE
SEA SCALLOPS
We recently had a customer regale us with her belief that we had "cheated" her elderly father, because some of the sea scallops he'd bought were not fully round. They tasted great, but weren't perfectly formed.
Sea scallops are one of the most commonly "faked" shellfish, made with a cookie cuter out of shark or skate wing. If your scallops look perfectly round and uniform, they may not be scallops at all. Here is a Link to an article on fake scallops.
Scallops are wild caught, they are never going to be perfectly alike. We would never sell fake scallops. Know your fishmonger!

|
SEAN'S CRISPY WBW BURGER
$5.95 RAW, $7.95 COOKED ON A BUN
Another tasty creation from one of our staff - a combination of fresh mild tasting whitefish, branzino and walleye, with spices and crumbs that crisp up when cooked. Makes a wonderful quick lunch or dinner, ideal for those who don't like salmon! Serve with or without a bun. Great topped with our tartar sauce.
NB: If you want yours cooked, call ahead to avoid the wait - 630-887-4700

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.

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.
