Bairdi Crab and Banded Rudderfish
From Sitka Alaska, where Halibut season begins in only one week, Jon Hickman is landing the long-time favorite of the crabbing industry, Bairdi Snow Crab. Sweeter than Red King Crab with a lighter and more delicate texture the Bairdi is cooked fresh at the dock. This opening should last about a week, and we are shipping sections of almost one pound each in minimum 25 pound boxes at $10.90/lb.
From Beaufort, NC Jack Cox and his boys continue to land beautiful Triggerfish, Amberjack, and Yellowfin Tuna. He has also been landing Banded Rudderfish, a slightly smaller cousin of the Amberjack, prized as sashimi.
From Willapa Bay, WA there are Dungeness Crab and Pacific White Sturgeon, from Homer, AK Pacific Cod, and Black Drum from Louisiana.
And to think it is still February!
