Market Updates and Availability

• Halibut is up again. This market has been a rollercoaster to say the least.
• Swordfish is normally full throttle from now until November. There are a lot of boats not fishing currently, and one of the most productive Sword fishing area (Grand Banks) is barely getting any traffic. Hopefully things pick up, but tied up fishing boats seems to be a trend this year. Because of the full moon, some additional fish have been available hopefully lowering the prices a little.
• Tuna continues to be problematic. Fish is extremely short and prices are higher than we can remember.
• Mahi- no real changes in availability.
• Groupers/Snappers are somewhat limited due to the hurricane, so expect prices to be up.
• Iceland's new quotas are out and the boats are finally heading back out.
• Expect limited supply and increased prices in the short term for all New England fisheries due to the hurricane. Boats are now making their way back out.
• Farmed Salmon market is currently steady now that demand has decreased.
• Pacifico started back up this week. There will be no 2-4 whole fish until possibly November due to grow out issues. All the fish they have available for whole orders is 4-6 lbs.
• Live Oyster availability is great! We have a great selection in house for your weekend menus.
• Live Lobsters increased a little towards the end of last week. One of our suppliers doesn’t think Firm/New shell lobsters will be shippable until late September or early October. This has a lot to do with water temperatures and ambient air temperatures they have been experiencing in Maine and Massachusetts. The big price break that we usually see might not be something we can pass along in September.
• Pasteurized crabmeat quantities from Indonesia are slowly starting to improve, however they are still very limited. We are expecting to see noticeable relief in September. Both China and Columbia production remains poor.
• Fresh domestic crabmeat production is finally starting to improve as demand is slowing.
• Domestic Shrimp demand is strong and production remains good on both whites and browns.

WEEKLY SPECIALS

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.
