Farmville!
Two exclusively awesome farm-raised varieties are on the menu this week (and always).
Salt-water Cobia Fillet: 100% yield - 8.95/lb
Allow me to introduce our Florida Fresh Farm Raised Cobia Fillets from the Sunshine State!
We buy this meaty cousin of the Remora (shark sucker) already filleted and de-boned.
Do you want to know why we only sell cobia by the fillet? It is because the bones of the cobia are very heavy. Obviously the money we save by leaving the bones in the bone-yard is a saving passed along to you, our beloved customer.
Cobia eat clams and other marine animals. They are sheer ravenous carnivores who love eating crabs. They are sometimes referred to as crab-eaters. I truly commend the creative genius who came up with such a nickname!

Now for a morsel of information regarding one of the most prized and honorable fish ever farmed by human-kind, the Tasmanian Sea Trout!
Petuna Tasmanian Ocean Trout have a marbled rosy pink and orange flesh that literally tastes like heaven on earth. The trout are bred in a fresh-water hatchery for 12 months, then moved to special marine farms on Tasmania's rugged west coast where they spend another six to twelve months growing until they reach about 8 pounds a pop.
Many chefs consider the farmed Tasmanian trout meat superior to that of farmed salmon. This could be exactly what you are looking for when farmed raised salmon doesn’t cut it and wild king salmon is out of season. Plus, at 8.95/lb and a 75% fillet yield, lets just say you should never look a gift horse in the mouth.
Tasmanian sea trout is stuffed to the gills with healthy cholesterol and has a very high omega 3 oil content.
Top 5 reasons to fall in love with Tasmania (and it's trout):
1) The islands favorite sports include cricket, field hockey and apparently woodchopping. Ax wielding Tasman David Foster held the title of Wood Chopping World Champion for 21 years straight.
...here we have the ax legend with his wife
How can you not love this guy?
2) Tasmania is an Australian state. Mainland Aussies are encouraged to move to Tasmania, but are also forewarned to look for a job there before actually moving.
3) Tasmania is world renowned for having some of the cleanest and greenest fishing and aquaculture environments in the world.
4)Creative in most fields, Tasmanians are making a clear impact in the emerging business of multimedia animation with television programs such as Real Life Water Rats.
5) Tasmanian Devils are real and they eat every part of their prey. Even the bones.
