Fish Tales 09/26/2023: Still Here for Y’all … Aloha Seafood

• Aloha all you home chefs & seafood lovers — thank you to Debbie H for motivating me to get another ‘Fish Tails’ out to y’all, it’s certainly been a while … So yes, we are still running our Home Delivery Service, yes it hasn’t been a big focus of ours since things started to open up “post-pandemic”, yes we’re still asking for $100.00 minimum orders, and still adding in a measly $10.00 service fee. Mucho Mahalos to so many of you who haven’t forgotten about us, and hopefully “welcome back to da’ Aloha family” to the rest of you.
• Copied below is a pretty close appoximation of the most recent ‘Tail’ that we sent out to food-service — — the attached price-list may not be so accurate, but we’ll get an updated version to our website at some point this week.
• SANDABS, SANDABS, we have SANDABS!!
• So, y’all know we feature ‘Bristol’s’ DRY-PACK SCALLOPS from Hokkaido, Japan, easily da’ very best, consistent Scallop available on the market. And y’all may know about the Japanese government starting to release water from it’s holding tanks in Fukushima, home of the tsunami-destroyed nuclear power plant from several years ago. To alleviate any potential concerns, here’s what you should know: 1) The treated & tested water that is being released meets Japanese requirements for safe drinking water. 2) The water being released will Not reach the area where the Scallps are, due to prevailing currents moving in the opposite direction from the Scallop beds. 3) The remaining trace element in the treated water is Tritium, at much lower levels than any threshholds set by any governments … … This release will occur over the next three decades, there will be continuous studies & reports, so check back with us in 10 or 15 years for further updates. 🙂
