John Dory and Monk Cheeks 1/18/11

Consider the Dory.

If you are like me, you are living in a fantasy world. Sometimes I like to escape from New York City's "wintry mix" in my mind's eye. I fly across the USA and over the Pacific Ocean to a summery island chain I like to call NEW ZEALAND. New Zealand is well known for its Hobbits. It is also an exotic island paradise where sheep outnumber people and everyone has a wacky accent. Our John Dory (complete with it's famous mark of St. Peter, so you know it's the good stuff) hail from New Zealand, and they are prize winners!!


Monk cheeks are medallions.

If your clients are squeamish about eating a cheek or two, call these babies "medallions" and get on with your life.
According to NOAA fish watch, the monk are some of the most dominant piscivores (fish eaters) in the ecosystem. At full speed, they are consuming 20-50% of mackerel and herring landings. They are also consuming MORE than the landings of skate and hake. WA-WA-WEE-WA, all of this, right from under our noses!! Scientists have even found smaller monks inside of the stomachs of large breeding female monk. What in tarnation is up with that? Cannibals! Get revenge on a greedy monk: Buy monk cheeks at Pierless.



MUY IMPORTANTE: Don't forget about razor clams this week, full moon equals a good harvest.
