Week of October 28, 2024 - Fit/Ritt/Wash Sq Order Form
Hello everybody!!
Like is stated earlier in the week, seafood sales generally are down in week with Halloween. Not for us, though. If restos are slower, we are busier. People need to eat and make a choice to do it at home. You can make what you like, when you want to make it and it's cheaper. Especially if you can get the same or better ingredients to do that with. Which I suspect you know you can with us. And it isn't lost on me that week in and week out, you guys come to us bag in hand and we fill it with seafood. Halloween for adults! But all year round...too funny!!
So, let's start things off with some gorgeous sushi grade bigeye tuna!!! This is the deeper red variety that makes every pic shine for Insta. And it is delish as well! From local boats up in Maine, this is a great time of year for this variety. Take advantage while you can, people. Bigeyes don't run around here very often..
We also have some ghoulish hamachi kamas!!! The collars of the fish, also known as yellowtail in sushi spots, is prized for it's amazing flavor. But don't take my word for it. Everyone who has had it was blown away. You get 4 collars in a pack averaging about 1.5lb total plus or minus. So easy to roast up in the oven. Salt, pepper, olive oil, 450F oven for 12 minutes, broil for 3 minutes and the best finger food up there with crispy chicken thighs..trust me...
We got lucky with another nice shot of cod cheeks so more for you all this week. Hoepfully, we can see a steady stream coming through the winter. We also got a nice shot of Martha's Vineyard bay scallops!! As stated, supply is up, prices are down. Yay!! So these babies are now $25 per half pound instead of $30. That is a huge drop!
And speaking of drops in prices, fresh Jumbo lump crab meat from Venezuela is way down as well! From $38 down to $32!! Noe that's a big win if there ever were one. And considering this week's fresh pasta is ogre guts, I mean spinach linguini, come on...
We have a new oyster vendor we are adding to the fam this week from Maine! Mom and pops cultivating some really great oysters. So excited for these. We are starting with Pine Points from the Nonesuch River. You gotta let me know what you think. If you guys like them, we will add them to the rotation.
And then some of you were sweating it ever since CJ from Oui Pastries in Old City closed shop. Well, she has arisen with a sleaker and smaller operation and dropped off some frozen pie dough balls!! With all these holidays coming up, how were you ever going to survive???
Littleneck clams are the shellfish of the week. Grab some fresh organic linguini pasta from Settantatre Pasta Co and make one knock out bowl. Best cheap meal ever. Pine Points are the oysters this week from Maine. Nice and plump.....bacon and lonsa abound....and tuna/halibut meatballs are back!!
See what I mean?? All this good to stuff to choose from.... Life is good...You'll never need to leave the house...
And don't forget your frozen shrimp, crab meat, and condiments and sauces...And dog treats for doggies...Coddy Canes are back too..
I know, I know. Lots of words but, hey, consider the alternative...
Here is the order form. Bring a bag! Bring a bag! Bring a bag!
