Deliveries and in-store
Swordfish
Long line caught, Hawaii
$25.00 per pound
Swordfish shows off its most distinctive characteristic—its meaty, almost steak-like texture—when it is grilled. But however you cook it, it's awesome! In addition, it's an excellent gateway fish for those who are skeptical of seafood in general.
Swordfish tends to have a high oil content, a rich flavor, and a texture that is similar to that of premium cuts of beef. Swordfish can be baked, broiled, grilled, sautéed, and smoked. It is MSC certified and Seafood Watch rates it a "Good Alternative.” Higher mercury level.
Whole Pompano
Gill net caught, North Carolina
$15.50 each
According to Barton Seaver, "From the earliest records to the present, the pompano has been the standard bearer of quality against which all other fish of the Atlantic and Gulf fish are measured." We are excited to get this in for next week!
Pompano is at its best in the fall but the season lasts through May. Its taste is sweet, some say similar to crab. Really, just a few herbs and olive oil help to make a fabulous dish.
Each fish weighs about a pound and comes cleaned and ready to stuff and cook! You may want two!
Seafood Watch rates it a "Best Choice." Low mercury level. Kosher.
Icelandic Cod, $23.00
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.
We have plenty more in our online store. Check it out!
