Bluefin Tuna and Atlantic Wild Swordfish

The NY Times Magazine ran an excellent article on the plight of the Bluefin Tuna. In spite of the efforts of many, that magnificent creature has been unable to rebound. In contrast, a story that is not getting enough press is the resurgence of the Atlantic Swordfish that not long ago was threatened. Last week the Marine Stewardship Council certified the Canadian long-line and harpoon fishery as sustainable, and the US Atlantic Wild Swordfish fishery is not far behind.

From Gosman’s dock in Montauk NY we are currently shipping a wide array of beautiful seafood, including day-boat Fluke, Monkfish. and Scallops. On Father’s Day the Dimin clan assembled at Grandpa Dimin’s house in Point Lookout, NY where we feasted on Gosman’s Scallops. They were so incredibly sweet and flavorful that we never cooked them, just ate them like apples.

Beautiful King Salmon continues from Alaska, as well as Halibut, Rockfish, Sablefish, and Ebi.

From Beaufort, NC, continue to land Pink Snapper and Gag Grouper as well as beautiful Mahi, Wahoo, Amberjack, Triggerfish and Tuna.

From the Louisiana Gulf we are still shipping U12 IQF Gulf White Shrimp, although the price is up to $11.40/lb. Louisiana fisheries continue to struggle with the crisis. No end is in sight for their troubles.
