Massachusetts - Ruby Red Shrimp

Ruby Red Shrimp: Best kept secret on the eastern seaboard.

In the fish industry, loose lips sink ships. Maybe that's why you haven't heard about our specialty Large Ruby Red Shrimp.

These crustaceans are so sweet and succulent that once you go ruby, you may never go back.

We have been supporting the Atlantic Coast shrimp fishing industry for years. Considering the situation in the Gulf, ask yourself: Where are my shrimp from?

 21-25 - 11.95/lb

 16-20 - 14.95/lb

Alaskan King Crab Legs and Halibut 2/08/11

LOVE is in the AIR at your restaurant.

Queue up the Barry White. On Monday night your restaurant is going to get crushed by hoards of crazed couples peering into each other's beady eyes like zombies from across their platters of linguini. Don't they know that in this day and age love is obsolete? Don't be the one to burst their bubble. Just feed them some delicious ocean treats and leave them to their own devices.

= TRUE LOVE

On that note, what says "I love you" better than a big case of CRABS!!

Frozen Alaskan King Crab Legs, when thawed out and cooked to perfection are a surefire aphrodisiac. You want to get your tables to turn over on V-day? One bite of those long, luxurious crab legs and even the most notorious loiterers will be ready for dessert and the check, WINK WINK.



King of the Jungle



There are about 3# of legs per "cluster" meaning one side of the crab's body. Alaskan king crab fishing entails going out in a boat towards the Aleutian Islands in the dead of winter. Sound like fun? An Alaskan king crab fisherman is more than 100 times more likely to die on the job than you are. Although the fishermen may be going extinct, the crabs are not. Alaskan King Crab stocks are healthy and are not being overfished, according to NOAA.

Signs of the Season: Bi-Coastal Halibut
We are seeing some East Coast Halibut trickle into the warehouse, now that the days are getting longer and brighter. Its westerly brethren will be saddling up in our cooler pretty soon as well, so: Yee Haw Cowboy! Wrangle in a wild halibut and say goodbye to all of your sorrows.
Oh yeah, and by the way...

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY YA' SAPS!!!!!

Hawaiian Blue Prawns, Spanish Mackerel12/07/10

Hawaiian Blue Prawns - A Luau in your mouth!

Winter isn't even officially here yet and already you snivel and whine about the chilly drafts: Booooo, It is so unfair. How am I supposed to work when it is this cold out? What if it snows?! How do you expect me to wear my favorite outfits in this Arctic climate!

Me thinks ye should quit yer bellyachin' and say Aloha to HAWAIIAN BLUE PRAWNS!

These crustaceans are raised using environmentally-friendly methods in huge sea water lagoons. Nearby mangrove forests provide a natural filtration system for the farm. The animals contain no antibiotics, no hormones and no by-products of land animals. When harvested, the animals are individually quick frozen (IQF) head and shell on. Ten count to a lb, they can be served cooked or raw.

Well pass the Poi and send me a flaming pinapple Kon-Tiki with an extra shot of guava essence and a mini-umbrella on top!

Here's a hot tip: Create a classy and timeless tropical atmosphere for your clientele by serving flaming blue cocktails out of large and exotic fruit rinds, accompanied by whole Hawaiian blue prawns on the grill, of course.

Beware, the prawns are known to excite and ignite even the most hypothermic icicle of a customer. I recommend keeping a fire extinguisher within close range.

Grass skirt and Polynesian coconuts sold separately.

Smack, Sp-mack, SPANISH MACKEREL - I know exactly what you're talking about, and it is available consistently.

Wild, east coast and NOT over-fished: What more can you ask for? These fast swimming macks are smarter than I am. They head south for the winter to reach warmer currents. As they make their way from the Carolinas down towards Florida to feed upon their primary food source, baitfish, some may even be caught in a live filming of"Mackerels gone Wild: Daytona Beach".

Although the gorgeous, high-quality macks we bring in range around 4-5 lbs each, the largest Spanish Mackerel ever recorded was a whopping 13 pounder. Holy Mackerel! Bad joke, sorry.

Mackerel swim in large packs that are known to appear in a fishing spot one day and then disappear without a trace, frustrating anglers and commercial fishermen until they spontaneously combust.

Did you know? Canned mackerel also known as "mack" is used as a common currency in prisons since around 2004. Enlighten yourself with the interesting article below.
