Market Updates and Availability

• Gulf of Mexico supply has been squeezed due to the Tropical Storms/Hurricanes and the next one on the list is IDA. Grouper and Snapper prices have gone up and overall gulf availability isn’t too good.
• Tuna prices are finally starting to come down and Swordfish is in great supply!
• Pacific Cod prices continue to increase.
• Mahi fishing in Ecuador will begin in a month!
• Chilean and Canadian Salmon prices are down. There are a few signs that the Faroe market could be coming down as well.
• The Wild Salmon fishing in Alaska has been good, however logistics remain somewhat of an issue. We have been consistently bringing in the fish, but it is not an easy path.
• Pacifico Stripe Bass prices are and will continue to go up little by little throughout the year. 
• The Maryland Wild Striped Bass season is near, and the Virginia opening in November.
• Black Bass prices are stable and fish have been landing pretty consistently.  
• Monkfish prices are at record level highs. 
• New Icelandic fishing quotas are set- landings have been good with both cod and haddock. 
• Pasteurized crabmeat- Indonesia quantities are starting to improve however product is still limited. Same story... delays in shipping remains the biggest issue. China's supply is also limited and we are not expecting to see improvement until late October. Maryland crabmeat is very high in price, but the quality is there!
• Live Lobster volumes remain lower than normal which means high prices.
• Soft Crab supply is limited and prices are increasing. There are very limited frozen quantities available which means that prices will remain high until next spring.
• Pricing and supply remains consistent with the Domestic Shrimp market, however boats are in due to the hurricane. As for imported shrimp, demand is strong and supplies are starting to dwindle. As with many, logisitics remain an issue.

MARBRE DES ALPES

Unpasteurized Cows Milk | France



Made in Desaignes, Marbre Des Alpes is made solely from mountain milk collected within a 20-kilometre radius of the cheese factory. Made with unpasteurized cow’s milk, it is very similar to Morbiere with an elegant thin line of ash dividing the paste. The pungent washed rind gives way to the savory, slightly fruity and creamy paste for a complex bite that pairs well with fuller whites like Chardonnay, light reds, and a variety of beers.
