We are trying to do our part in containing the Asian Carp so our solution is to taste it out. It's actually a mild tasty fish fish that's enjoyed all over the world. We have some great new recipes that will blow you away! We will be grilling it up and serving it with Terry's own homemade Tomato/Jalapeno Chutney or our famous Mustard Sauce.

THIS WEEK'S SPECIAL...

From the Pacific Ocean comes... 

Alaskan Fish...  

      Halibut and Sockeye Salmon

 Alaska is one of those places in the world where just about every fishery is prolific and sustainable. Fish and seafood from the cold pristine waters off the North Pacific are considered to be the some of the purest and best tasting in the world! Both of these species are MSC certified making them a great choice. We bring these fish in on a daily basis, whole, and cut them to order for you, fillet or steaks! 

All of these succulent fish can be used in almost any cooking application, from sauteing to grilling. I love to grill and this is the best time of the year to get out and fire up some great Alaskan fish! We have a myriad of great marinades to complement your fish choice, like Thai halibut, or my favorite Tequila chili salmon on a cedar plank!

FATHER'S DAY SPECIAL

World's best lobster tails

4 to 5 ounce at $45.00 per pound 

 Here is a great opportunity to treat Mom to a extra special treat this weekend.

We have the very best South African cold water petite lobster tails at the best price in years. There are no better tails than these and being a smaller4 to 5 ounce tail makes them extra sweet. Use our

Lobster Tails: Tried and True  

recipe and you can't go wrong. These tails are outstanding on their own (I'd eat two) or as part of the most awesome surf and turf.  

Keep in mind that larger cold water tails are running $70.00 per pound, so these are a great value at about $12.00 each.

Call ahead and we will thaw and prep them for you to make life even easier!

 

 Here is the recipe quick and easy...  

  

Thaw the tails ahead of time(we have some thawed already). 

 Lobster tails raw 300

 Split back of tail, fill with butter, dust with parsley, wrap in foil.

Grill in foil 4 minutes per side, unwrap and finish directly on grill, about 1 minute per side, just to brown.  

Lobster tail and foiled tail  

Pull meat from shell, shred and put back in shell to serve with melted butter.

This is the best way we've found to cook a great lobster tail. Give our recipe a try and you will agree. Now cook a tail up for your mother!

 OYSTER  OPTIONS...       

 oysters on seaweed with salmon roe  

Oysters have been linked with love and sexuality for thousands of years.

The word "aphrodisiac" was born when Aphrodite, the Greed goddess of love, sprang forth from the sea on an oyster shell and promptly gave birth to Eros. Because Aphrodite was said to be born from the sea, many types of seafood have reputations as aphrodisiacs, foremost among them, oysters!
