Whitefish
Trapnet caught, Lake Erie, Canada
This week we are featuring whitefish, just in time for the High Holidays. Whatever your persuasion, whitefish is a reliable all-around fish. It has large flakes and is thick, rich, and versatile. Its fat content makes it particularly flavorful and excellent for smoking (watch for smoked whitefish in the near future).
You can use whitefish in just about any recipe that calls for a "white fish." Really, a quick sauté with lemon and butter is as good a preparation as any recipe. But if you'd like something elaborate, see our recipes page for more inspiration. Seafood Watch rates whitefish a "Good Alternative." Low mercury level. Kosher.

Skate Wings
Trawl caught, East Coast
Skate wings are exaggerated pectoral fins made of cartilage. Sounds delicious, no? Well, they ARE a taste treat. Many compare their flavor to that of scallops.
Skate are best when super fresh. If you are not planning to cook
the night you pick up your fish, best to either freeze it (ง'̀-'́)ง
or opt for the whitefish instead. Seafood Watch rates skate a "Good Alternative." Low
mercury level.

Gibsons Steakhouse Seasoning Salt
Ingredients: Salt, spices, dehydrated onion and garlic.
We are selling this product because a dietician recommended it for a friend with heart issues. It contains only salt, spices, and dehydrated onion and garlic, and it is the secret ingredient that some say makes Gibsons steaks so good. Because it is a healthy alternative to straight kosher salt, we wanted to try it.
The verdict? Gibsons proved to be excellent on fish too!
