• Been a while, but it’s Easter week, Good Friday too, so here goes another ‘Tail’ —
• Always popular on the Easter brunch buffet table is SALMON (choose from a few), Fresh DRY-PACK SCALLOPS, SMOK’D SALMON / LOX, and HALIBUT.
• Not sure how updated the attached Price-List is, but there’s 3 species of HALIBUT available now, all with varying degrees of availability — AK/Northern, Local/CA, and SoCAL/Baja HAL.  BARRAMUNDI is our “bass”, with some COVINA due in later this week.  Lotta’ Crab fishermen already putting their gear away for this year, so DUNG. CRABS are kinda’ hit-or-miss right now. Fresh D. CRABMEAT is available, though.
• Heads up about a coupla’ items that have been pretty popular with the “home chef” crowd — Chile C-Bass Collars & Kanpachi Filet — we No Longer have these items, but offering a Heckuva Deal on Fzn HAMACHI FIL — $17.50 !!
• There Will NOT be a Local Wild KING Salmon season this year, we probably won’t deal with Frozen Wild Salmon (never have), and we’ve never been impressed with “River-caught”/gill-netted King Sal — so maybe we’ll bring in some pricey Kings from CAN or AK, possibly another Wild species (SOCKEYE?), but those decisions are still a ways off — keep in mind that you can only get Farmed ‘BIG GLORY BAY’ NZ KING SAL from Aloha Seafood!
• AHI, TOMBO, YELLOWTAIL JACK, MAHI — PETRALE SOLE — BLACK COD, ROCK & TRUE COD — BRONZINI — Lotta’ CLAMS, MUSSELS, OYSTERS — More!
• In da’ Freezer:  8 Items in ‘Bristols’ “MY FISH DISH” line … VANA (#2-grade UNI) … IQF U/10 SCALLOPS & PERUVIAN BAY SCAL … SOFT-SHELL CRABS … “Spanish” OCTO & MAYAN/YUCUTAN OCTO … Blanched OCTO LEGS/TAKO (great Poke item, great deal) … HAMACHI FIL, HAMACHI COLLARS, ALBACORE LOINS … AHI POKE CUBES & AHI LOINS & AHI SAKU BLOCKS … CALAMARI T&T x 2 and ‘Town Dock’ RINGS & Tents … and much more
• Really appreciate all the great feedback on our (exclusive) line of WILD, Environmentally Friendly (panga boats, day-trips), Mexican (Pacific side), fair-trade certified BLUE PRAWNS/SHRIMP, branded ‘Del Pacifico’.

• Not especially a 9ers fan, but in the words of the late Freddie Mercury — “Singin’ Weee Will, Weee Will, Brock You!!”  And in other important news, Pitchers & Catchers report in 22 days!  Now on to seafoodie stuff …
• DUNGENESS CRABS — NorCal & Oregon now open, prices have settled waaaay down, have at ’em!  Significant drop on CRABMEAT pricing, as well!
• Pretty nice price drop on AHI POKE CUBES, too! And FZN SKINLESS BLO (Blood-Line Out) AHI LOINS (2++, some would consider #1) are a heckuva deal!
• Waters in Tomales Bay have tested clean — Pt. REYES OYSTERS are in stock again, (for the first time in 2023)!  Beausoleil still closed, but we’re offering other east-coast premiums: MALPEQUEs, BARACHOIS, PINK MOONs.
• Seeing yet more price increases to Canadian ATLANTIC SALMON — global shortage of market-sized fish, no production from Pacific side of Canada (B.C.), so extra shipping costs to get Canadian Salmon from back east (hmmmm, that’s their “natural” home, anyway), and we don’t deal with Chilean Atl Sal.  ATL SAL are now right about the same price as ‘LOCH DUART’ SALMON are, and nearly closing the gap with ‘BIG GLORY BAY’ NZ KING SAL.
• Hoping for some FRESH Black Cod sometime this week, FZN or Slacked BLACK COD until then … PERTALE … ROCK & TRUE COD … SoCAL HAL (we’re bringing in some NORDIC HAL next week) … BARRAMUNDI continues to be our ‘Bass’ option … AHI, SWORD, MAHI … HAMACHI FIL AND KANPACHI FIL … BRONZINI, DORADE … DRY-PACK SCALLOPS, IQF PERU BAY SCALLOPS … McFARLAND SPR. TROUT … SMK’D SALMON & SMK’D TROUT FIL … and lots More … 
• Price List attached, possible updates should be on da’ website by tomorrow or Thurs…
• OK, to answer your question, just not much of a football fan at all anymore, … but if the Silver & Black ever become relevant again …
• In da’ Freezer:  8 Items in ‘Bristols’ “MY FISH DISH” line … VANA (#2-grade UNI) … IQF U/10 SCALLOPS & PERUVIAN BAY SCAL … SOFT-SHELL CRABS … CHILE-BASS COLLARS … “Spanish” OCTO & MAYAN/YUCUTAN OCTO … Blanched OCTO LEGS/TAKO (great Poke item, great deal) … HAMACHI FIL, HAMACHI COLLARS, ALBACORE LOINS … AHI POKE CUBES & AHI LOINS & AHI SAKU BLOCKS … CALAMARI T&T x 2 and ‘Town Dock’ RINGS & Tents … and much more

• Aloha Chefs!  Happy Holidays, here’s what’s new …
• Let’s get this one out of the way first — There will NOT be any Fresh Local Dungeness Crabs for Thanksgiving … and for that matter, probably NONE for X-Mas & New Year either. The decision-makers are going to meet again on Nov 23rd, but the feeling is that Calif & Oregon won’t open until 2023. Again, there’s too many endangered whales that have the potential to get tangled in the gear … and yes, we’re still confused how “too many” and “endangered” can be in the same sentence.
• DUNGENESS CrabMEAT is available, as are KING CRAB LEGS & CLAWS, plenty of SHRIMP/PRAWN options, SCALLOPS, CLAMS, MUSSELS, OYSTERS … and always an up-tick in Shucked OYSTERS (for turkey stuffing) this time of year — 10-oz Jars at $8.50.
• Halibut season is winding down — We do have some LOCAL HAL (surprisingly), but NO AK Hal this week (so far), and SoCal Hal hasn’t been showing up lately at all.  PETRALE SOLE … SWORDFISH, AHI, TOMBO … Nice MAHI-MAHI … Beautiful BLACK COD, ROCK & TRUE COD too … BRONZINI … Bass = MEX’N RED GROUPER (BAQUETTA) & BARRAMUNDI … Lots More …
• In da’ Freezer:  8 Items in ‘Bristols’ “MY FISH DISH” line … VANA (#2-grade UNI) … IQF U/10 SCALLOPS & PERUVIAN BAY SCAL … SOFT-SHELL CRABS … CHILE-BASS COLLARS … “Spanish” OCTO & MAYAN/YUCUTAN OCTO … Blanched OCTO LEGS/TAKO (great Poke item, great deal) … HAMACHI FIL, HAMACHI COLLARS, ALBACORE LOINS … AHI POKE CUBES & AHI LOINS & AHI SAKU BLOCKS … CALAMARI T&T x 2 and ‘Town Dock’ RINGS & Tents … and much more

• Hiya’ Home Chefs!  Thought you may need some “Tail” — here goes…
• WILD Local CA KING SALMON! — price up a tad, with some beautiful fish coming in throughout this week.
• HAMACHI COLLARS/KAMA have been missing since April, But They Are Available Once Again! — have at ’em!
• Please eMail your orders (or inquiries) to orders@ alohaseafood.net — (if you reply to this eMail, only I will get it, and maybe not in a timely manner).
• Lotta’ Shellfish inconsistencies this time of year — Clams: LITTLENEX are better than MANILAs;  Mussels: PEIs are much improved, WA MEDS still OK, (Salt Spring Is. are still another week or two away);  Oysters: Pacific Northwest varieties are very limited, East Coast varieties (BEAUSOLEIL, St.SIMON, etc) and Pt.REYES (X-Smls) are your best choices. Lotsa’ Ice is a wise choice.
• ROCK, LING, TRUE, & BLACK COD  /  AK HAL & LOCAL CAL HAL  /  PETRALE SOLE  /  BRONZINI, DORADE  /  SWORDFISH, AHI, TOMBO, YELLOWTAIL JACK, FZN HAMACHI FIL  /  WHITE C-BASS & BARRAMUNDI  /  Farm’d SALMON x 5  /   DRY-PACK HOKKAIDO SCALLOPS  /  LIVE LOBSTERS, LOB TAILS, LOBSTERMEAT, GIDNEY SPLITS  /  Lots More …

• We’re now OUT of Fzn Kampachi Fil, no more expected in until 2023 — reasoning is that the farm’s fish are still way to small, and that’s why NO Fresh ones either.
• In da’ Freezer:  8 Items in ‘Bristols’ “MY FISH DISH” line … VANA (#2-grade UNI) … FZN PIKE FIL … FRIES w/EYES (IQF LAKE SMELT) … IQF U/10 SCALLOPS & PERUVIAN BAY SCAL … SOFT-SHELL CRABS … CHILE-BASS COLLARS … “Spanish” OCTO & MAYAN/YUCUTAN OCTO … Blanched OCTO LEGS/TAKO (great Poke item, great deal) … AHI POKE CUBES & AHI LOINS & AHI SAKU BLOCKS & 6-oz AHI STEAKS … CALAMARI T&T x 2 and ‘Town Dock’ RINGS & Tents … HAMACHI Fil … much more
