NOTE

Credit Card Fees

After many years of paying what we consider to be outrageous fees to banks, Visa, Master Card as well as Amex, we are switching to a new system where we will be saving the fees, and charging 4% for all card uses to our patrons. We have tried in the past to offer 2% in exchange for cash or checks with little success, and the number of fees we incur each month has finally choked me to where I’ve said “no more.” In case you’re not aware, the banks and credit card companies do not pay for your rewards, but merchants pay it all. Large companies have much deeper pockets than we do, but the effort it takes for us to procure the products we bring to town is more costly. Large retailers also get a much better discount on fees than we do.

Our new system will now offer itemized receipts for each purchase.

This transition will occur on July 1, 2020, and will be in effect the following weekend

We have always been happy to take your checks and cash, but still can't accept first-borns, nor arms and legs.

Greetings!

A lot is going on almost everywhere, and that certainly includes the fresh seafood bidness.

The price of live crabs has reached astronomical levels, and we understand our rivers and sounds are being invaded by crabbers from other states with thousands of their crab pots.

Soft-shell crabs are done for the year, and no one else can offer us what Larry Bolton has for more than fifteen years, so that means we are done as well. He's retired once and came back to work for us this year, but I doubt he will do it again next year. Too much work, too little pay for him, but he's an aging Yankee friend of mine, so no telling what he'll do.

We have been forewarned that Mudbugs have come to an end, with the possibility of some next week, but doubtful. We surely would like a load for the Fourth of July, but we won't know until next week.

Please let your friends and family know that all new subscribers will receive a 15% discount coupon immediately upon signing up for our Shrimpnotes. Here's the link you can send to them: http://theshrimpconnection.com/current-newsletter-2-2/

Sal's Riverside Seafood

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?

Grilled Pork Chops 3 Ways

How to cook perfect bone-in pork chops every time

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.
