Your SHRIMPNOTE for 11-17 & 18-2017
Greetings!

The weather is cooler as we approach Thanksgiving Day with my hopes of it staying cool so I will stay inside and smell all the wonderful aromas of a turkey a'roasting and bread a'baking. If the weather in Sneads Ferry is slightly warmer than in the Triad, as it usually is, I will force myself to stay inside so nobody else can inhale all the smells. I'm smacking my lips just thinking about that turkey next week that has been brined in cognac and milk overnight and basted with with a sage-bacon-butter during the cooking process. My rotundity doth grow.

We are located Friday noon: 2301 Sandy Ridge Rd, (Fri,)Budding Artichoke and Saturday, 9 AM at 2913 Sandy Ridge Rd, (Sat.) Colfax, NC 27235 Cheerwine. (across from the Farmer's Market). We are located in Summerfield at 7403 Summerfield Road and open for business on Friday at noon and 9 AM on Saturdays. In Mooresville, we're always at Josh's Farmer's Market, 189 Williamson Road, Mooresville, 1:00 PM on Fridays and 9 AM on Saturdays.


Happy Thanksgiving!
Many Blessings to you and yours,
Landon

Some hot food for some cold weather.
Hot Crab Dip
Oyster Stew
Shrimp and Grits
Salmon
 Our salmon is cut from whole fish into huge fillets which are the sides of the fish without bones. We cut these sides into collars, center cut strips, wide cuts, and tails. 
Collars are the fattiest of all the cuts and are best for sushi mi and sushi. Tails are the least fatty and are best for medium, medium well, and well-done salmon. Strips and wide cuts are best for grilling, broiling and sauteing.
Please specify which cuts you prefer.
THIS WEEK'S QUOTATION
Be thankful we're not getting all the government we're paying for.

SHELLFISH-OYSTERS

NOTE: Just a heads-up that the prices for oysters, both shucked and in-shell are expected to rise and keep rising through the holidays. Part of this increase is due to the holidays, as is always the case, and part due to the weather conditions in the Gulf and over-consumption in North Carolina, Virginia and Maryland.

Our in-shell oysters were always sold in bushels, half-bushels, and pecks until we learned that some of the oyster men have different notions about how much volume constitutes a bushel so we started requiring our dealers to pack ours in 60# bushels, 30# half-bushels and 15# pecks. This offers us and you greater consistency in the bags we sell.

We can also offer to have your preordered oysters washed at the coast for a $5.00/Bushel fee, but we won't be washing them if you fail to preorder them washed. I also have to warn you that the life of a washed oyster is numbered in days and not the weeks that an unwashed muddy oyster will last under refrigeration. If your plans are to buy oysters to roast on the Thursday following your pick up from us the week before, you will experience several dried-out oysters because they have not had the benefits of the mud protecting them. Washing your oysters is your call, and you must weigh the benefits. Thanks.
