Product Updates
Fresh Fish
Mahi Mahi - strong landings in the Caribbean
Nice landings down south are helping with low prices at premium quality.
Local Flounder - Local landings have been spotty
Availability is dependent on weather. Heavy winds have been keeping some of the boats at the dock, but our team is keeping us stocked.
Fresh Rockfish - landings are ramping up along the East Coast (VA & Maryland)
Availability is starting to catch up to the market, but prices should remain firm through the rest of this year. Prices are firm due to this year's tags running out at the end of the month. New tags will be issued in January.
Halibut - prices are high so this is considered a specialty ordered item as of now
If you are interested in purchasing Halibut for your menu, please get in touch with your sales representative. Ask your Rep about our previously frozen Halibut offering as well.
Scottish Salmon - Scotland is in the middle of regeneration
There have been some blips in availability on the larger 15 - 17 pound fish, but our procurement team has been doing a great job sourcing what is available to keep our customers supplied. Strong relationships with these farms are making a difference during shortages. This happens a few times a year, and typically isn't an issue for the market.
Yellowfin Tuna - decent supply
Availability is looking strong for all of our game fish. Domestic and Caribbean products are rolling in consistently.
Shellfish & Crustaceans
Fresh Local Crabmeat - season has ended
Local Crabmeat has come to an end this year. Our Virginia pasteurized crabmeat would be a great substitute for those who want to stick to the local product. Imported crabmeat is also steadily available.
Fresh Venezuelan Crabmeat - running steady
Prices are decent on this product for now, but expect prices to come up since the local crabmeat season ended. This product remains cheaper than pasteurized crabmeat.
Scallops - prices will continue to rise
Boats are coming close to their day quota, meaning they only have a few more days left out of this year to harvest scallops. This is currently driving prices up on all scallop products. It should be noted that next year's domestic quota will be shorter and issued in April, which will inevitably keep prices at an all-time high.
Maine Oysters - seasonal closures
We are seeing some of the Maine oyster farms coming to a close for the season, these products will be limited until Spring of 2022. Canadian oysters are a great substitute, ask your sales representative about availability!
IQF Half Shell Oysters - are back in stock
After weather complications, we were able to get this product back in stock. Our case comes in 12/1 dozen packages.
Frozen Items
Gulf Shrimp - Large brown shrimp (21/25’s and above) are less abundant than white shrimp
With the lack of labor, both boats and plants do not have the ability to process enough brown shrimp and this continues to be an issue. White shrimp remains a good alternative and are less expensive than browns on several sizes.
Frozen Tuna Loins - High demand and limited product
Prices are high and availability is spotty due to lack of labor and a strong demand for frozen tuna loins. Frozen tuna steaks are a good option to substitute, as well as our fresh tuna loins.
