    Salmon fillet .5 Atlantic Salmon, Farmed (Salmo salar)
    Fillets on sale, $10.00 per pound (regularly $12.00)

    Atlantic salmon is farmed in many parts of the world. The best Atlantic salmon in our experience comes from eastern Canada or Maine. We bring in these fish whole and fillet them daily. You hear a lot about farmed salmon being a poor choice, this is simply not true. Salmon farming has come a long way and is constantly improving. Twenty five per cent of the fish in the world is farm raised and that will continue to grow. If not for farmed fish, the wild stocks would be far more seriously depleted Farmed Atlantic salmon are excellent quality, high in omega-3s, readily available, and consistently priced. This is the premiere fish for sushi. Salmon can be used in just about any recipe imaginable, from tartar to plank smoked on the grill. Try this months salmon recipe. It is very easy, healthy and takes only minutes to prepare and cook.

    whole pacific shrimp 2 inch Fresh Pacific White Shrimp, Wild(Penaeus vannamei)
    On sale: $20.00 per pound (regularly $24.00)

    There are many varieties and types of shrimp on the market today. In my opinion, there are none better than wild caught Gulf of Mexico and Pacific shrimp. These have the flavor and texture that are not found in the supermarket shrimp, which are typically tiger shrimp. Most shrimp are frozen at the dock and thawed when sold, which is probably best for those of us not living on the coast. These shrimp are caught fresh and flown to us next day, fresh! The Pacific white shrimp are available out of Baja California for about ninty days out of the year and now is the time! These may well be the best shrimp I have ever tasted. These shrimp are head off, shell on ,and graded 16/20 to the pound. Simply boiled or steamed then peeled and eaten with garlic butter or coctail sauce, they are great. You can split the back of the shell, soak them in our Tequila Chili marinade then toss the shrimp on the grill for a couple of minutes for an unbelievable taste!

    whole snapper Red Snapper (Lutjanis species)
    On sale:Whole, $12.00 per pound Fillets $20.00 per pound (regularly $14.00 and $24.00 per pound)

    Did you Know that there are more than 75 species of snapper in the world? I usually carry a couple of the more familiar varieties, such as Florida red snapper (Lutjanis campechanus) and Yellow tail snapper (Ocyurus chrysurus). Most snappers are very similar in taste and texture, mild and flaky meat. You will find snapper works for all cooking methods. This type of fish cooks up whole, very nicely. in the oven or on the grill. Here is one of my favorite recipes from our files. Its a very easy and healthy recipe that is quick and tasty too with a touch of Cuban flair!

    Mussels on ice .5 Black Mussels, farmed (Mytilus edulis)
    On sale $3.50 per pound (regularly $5.00 per pound)

    It's hard to beat a cool mixed green salad, a big streaming bowl of mussels, a crusty loaf of fresh bread and a great bottle of chilled wine. Our black mussels are raised in cold clean waters off of Prince Edward Island in Nova Scotia. They come to us live and very well cleaned. We hand pick them for you so what you take home is the very best of the bag! Mussel are where its at; warm, cold or smoked, they are succulent little morsels on your plate. Simply steamed over a wine, vegetable, and water broth or incorporated in a succulent paella (we love this!) you can't find a more versatile shellfish for the same low price, anywhere!
