Your SHRIMPNOTE for 12-15 & 16-2017
Greetings!

O, Christmas Tree, O, how we love thee. It's getting harder and harder to be good the older I get, but I keep trying because our Christmas tree confronts me with: "You better be good".

I encourage you to try some of our NC King Mackerel because it not only is a fun fish to catch, it is a great fish to eat when it is as fresh as this is. At this this time, the fish are large enough for us to cut them into steaks rather than fillets and I've included two recipes in this newsletter for broiling and grilling. If you don't like this fish, I will replace your fish with something else. That's how confident I am that this fish is great.

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

I no doubt deserved my enemies, but I don't believe I deserved my friends.

SHELLFISH-OYSTERS

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.
