Rainbow Trout Farm raised Oncorhynchus mykiss
Regular price: $10.00 lb.
Special price: $8.00 lb.
March 5-11
Rainbow trout are one of the oldest farm fisheries in the United States. These fish have been raised in Idaho since the early 1920s. (Ours are much fresher than that! ) About 70 million pounds are grown every year, most for comsumption and the rest for stocking lakes and rivers. Wisconsin produces some great rainbow trout in Palmyra, about 90 miles from here.
Trout are mild in flavor, low in fat and sodium, and are high in the omega 3 fatty acids that a been proven to be so good for us in so many ways. Trout can be used in most recipes. We always say "When in doubt, rainbow trout!". For a simple and fast way to cook trout, try this pesto recipe.
We are into green this month

In honor of
St Patricks Day
(and my birthday)...
March 12-18
When you buy your fish or seafood this week, the marinade for your purchase is on the house!
We figure about 4 ounces of marinade for a pound of fish, so this is a great opportunity to try one of our seven different fresh made marinades. Our Terry-aki is the best seller but the Tequila chili or Thai marinades run a close second. Ask one of the guys for his favorite fish and marinade combo!
Baked, broiled, grilled or sauted, our marinades will inhance your fish experience and blown you away with the flavor! Try all seven varieties.
Now is also a great time to try one of our famous Key Lime pies, all decked out in green for St Patrick's Day!

| Kona Gold Kampachi (Yellowtail Jack) Seriola rivoliana
Farm raised  Regular price $35.00 per pound
Special price $25.00 per pound
March 19-25
This is my new favorite fish this year! Grown in the clean waters of the Pacific, off the Kona coast of the Big Island ofHawaii, it is healthy, pure and sustainable. The farming method is considered a "green" fishery(check out the link on the website). I dropped the considerably price to intice you into trying an expensive but superb selection. This fish is terrific as sashimi, sushi or quick seared on the grill. Its fantastic on a sashimi plate or try the simple blackened recipe below.
When blackening kampachi, have us skin your fillets and just lightly dust your fillets before cooking. We want you to taste the fish! |
| Rock Shrimp Sicyonia brevirostrist
Regular price $19.00 lb.
Special price $16.00 lb.
March 26-April 1
Rock shrimp come from Florida and have a very hard shell, similar to a lobster. They became more available in the 1980s after a machine was invented to split the shell and de-vein the shrimp.Their taste is somewhere between a lobster and a shrimp. They come from deep water, 120 to 250 feet, just like lobster. I keep mentioning lobster and even though they are shrimp, I personally like these better than lobster and they are one of the tastiest shrimp you can cook. We always sell them peeled. Use them in pastas, paellas, stir frys, and fried. If you have not tried rock shrimp before, I would highly suggest that you do so this week!
For lunch just the other day, I dusted some rock shrimp in corn starch, fried them in a little hot canola oil until they were crispy(about 3 minutes) and dipped them in our Ginger Garlic Marinade. They were quick, easy and very tasty! Also try rockies with this recipe...
