Fish Tails 11/15/2022: Happy Holidays … Aloha Seafood

• 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
• 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’.

• 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.

• 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.
