Creamy Salmon Dinner-------------------------->



Greetings!

Doesn't this spring weather make you happy? In our line of business, we love it, particularly when its dry. Come on out and enjoy it with us at one of our locations. We'll both be glad that you did.
1) We have more  FRESH  Roe Shrimp from Georgia. FYI, these are the sweetest of all shrimp, and the roe is edible.
2) NC Mahi-Mahi has finally returned which is always a sign of spring and doesn't last long.
3) NC River Cats from the Cape Fear River are becoming more and more popular as folks try this indigenous fish which is much different than the farmed catfish sold in restaurants and grocery stores.
4) Rappahannock, VA in-shell oysters sold by the 25 CT/BAG or by the piece.
5) NC Cocktail Claws-Fully cooked are a favorite for the folks who've tried them and claim there's nothing quite like these sweet springtime snacks.

Many Blessings with thanks.

Sal Junta in Kenner, La cooks the best seasoned crawdads in this whole-wide world.

They're cooked for us on Wednesdays, loaded on Southwest Airlines, and sent to RDU where we have to send an extra truck to pick up 800 pounds of these tasty suckers.

PLEASE do not heat them in hot water, else the seasoning will be washed away. Spread them out on your customary newspaper, and let them warm to room temperature. If you think about it, how many mudbugs can you suck before they cool down anyway?
Berkwood Farm's Berkshire Pork Chops
For Juiciest Pork Chops, Use a Quick Brine (30 Minutes!)
After you bring your pork chops home, time to brine! Brining pork chops is one of the best ways way to guarantee a juicy cooked pork chop. Even a quick 30-minute brine (or up to four hours) makes a big difference.

A basic brine is a solution of 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) salt to 1 quart (4 cups) of water. Lay the pork chops (or other thin cut) in a single layer in a shallow dish and then pour the brine over top. Let this sit for anywhere from 1/2 hour to 4 hours before cooking.
Brining actually changes the cell structure within the meat, resulting in a noticeably juicier chop. The salt brine also seasons the interior of the meat. It won’t taste “salty” — just well-seasoned. You can even add other seasonings, like garlic, peppercorns, fresh herbs, and lemon, to the brine for more flavor. If you fear bland pork chops, definitely give brining a try.
These steaks are some of the very best I've ever eaten. Rest assured two normal people can have all they want with one of these, and even the pup gets a bone.

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 narrow strips 7-8 OZ., center-cut wide cuts16-24 OZ., 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. Center-cut strips and wide cuts are best for grilling, broiling and sauteing.
Please specify which cuts you prefer.
