FRESH FISH AND SHELLFISH
On a regular basis, we have over 30 fresh items in our refrigerated cases for you to choose from. Because many fish items are seasonal, e.g. fishermen are only allowed to catch them at certain times, or nature only makes some things available at certain times. Other things are available in the marketplace but because of high price or low demand, we don’t bring them in except for special orders. So if you REALLY want something, we can probably get it. Here’s an alphabetical sample listing of what we offer:
Arctic Char, Bass (Black Sea, Chilean, Striped), Blue Fish,* Catfish, Cod (Scrod, True), Grouper, Haddock, Halibut,* Mackerel (Spanish, King), Mahi Mahi, Marlin,* Opah, Ono, Orange Roughy, Perch (lake), Pike (Walleye), Pompano, Redfish, Rockfish, Salmon (Atlantic, King, Silver, Sockeye, Steelhead),* Shad Roe,* Skate Wing, Smelt, * Snapper (Costa Rican, Red, Yellowtail), Sole (Dover,* Dab, Grey, Lemon, Petrale, Rex), Swordfish, Tilapia, Trout (Lake, Rainbow, Ruby Red, Sea), Tuna (Yellowfin, Albacore), Turbot (French),** Whitefish.
Clams (Cherrystone, Little Necks, Manila, Steamer),** Crab (Soft shells;* cooked Blue Crab Meat, Dungeness,* Jonah Claws, Stone Claws*), Crayfish (Live),** Lobster (Live Maine),*** Mussels (Blue, Green Lip, PEI), Oysters (Kumamoto, Malpec, Blue Points, etc.;** Shucked), Scallops (Bay, Cape, Sea), Shrimp (Shell-on, Cooked and Cleaned, Rock), Squid.**

Because so many shell fish items are very perishable, the best way to buy them is when they’ve been frozen right on the boat.
