Dry-Pack Sea Scallops
Trawl caught, Delaware
A bite of a quickly seared sea scallop begins with a crusty—almost crunchy—exterior and is followed by a contrasting sweet, buttery interior. The sea scallops we offer are shucked on the boat, dry-packed (no chemicals added), and shipped on ice. (Wet-pack scallops are soaked in a water-retentive sodium triphosphate solution, meaning that when cooked they exude so much water that they can't be properly seared.) Dry-pack scallops are firm and slightly tacky to the touch; this quality promotes caramelization. Incidentally, color variation 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)

Skate Wings
Trawl caught, East Coast
Skate wings—which are oversized pectoral fins made of cartilage—sometimes get a bad rap, maybe because they spoil quickly. They are delicious, underutilized, and inexpensive, and we think they should be celebrated!
It is true that 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 😠or opt for the sea scallops 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!
