The Weekly Catch
April 16 to 20
Deliveries and in-store
Cod
Trawl or line caught, Iceland
$22.50 per pound
This high-quality Icelandic cod is cut exclusively from the loin. Its firm, large, succulent flakes have a mild flavor. You can do almost anything with it. Unlike most fish, it stands up well to hearty sauces. It is great for fish and chips, and It is good sautéed, steamed, baked, and fried.
Icelandic cod is the same species as the more familiar Atlantic cod, but the jury is still out on whether or not they are separate stocks. In any case, Icelandic cod comes from the chilly waters around Iceland and is generally much larger and more migratory (thus leaner) than its overfished southern relative. We know you'll enjoy it!
Golden Tilefish
Long line caught, Florida
$27.00 per pound
When you bite into a perfectly seared sea scallop, you experience both its caramelized, crusty exterior and its sweet, buttery interior. They are unbelievably easy to make! Just a hot pan, a bit of oil, salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon. It takes all of three minutes!
The sea scallops we're offering are shucked on the boat, dry-packed (no chemicals added), and shipped on ice. (Wet-pack scallops—which are soaked in a water-retentive sodium triphosphate solution—exude so much water when cooked that they can't be properly seared.) Dry-pack scallops are firm and slightly tacky, which promotes caramelization. Incidentally, color variation in a raw scallop is natural and confirms the absence of a bleaching agent.
Seafood Watch rates dry-pack scallops a "Good Alternative." Low mercury level. (10/20 per pound)
