This Week’s Seafood Order:
Vermillion Snapper from Beaufort, NC
This week’s fresh catch is Vermillion Snapper. From Sea to Table, “Vermillion Snapper, also known as a beeliner, is caught off of the U. S. coast from NC and around the Florida panhandle to Texas. Similar in appearance to their cousin the Red Snapper, Vermillion Snapper are a smaller fish with lean flesh, a mild, sweet flavor, and a medium-firm texture. They are most abundant in shallow water where they live near the seafloor, near the edge of continental shelves. Hook-and-line gear are primarily used to catch this species closer to shore. Any recipe that you’d use for Red Snapper can also be used for Vermillion snapper.”
Price: $25.90/ lb. (skin-on filets, approximately 1 lb.)
Snapper is a low-calorie, lean source of protein that is rich in selenium, vitamin A, potassium and omega-3 fatty acids.

Start 2017 with delicious fresh caught fish! This week’s seafood offering is mahi-mahi from Beaufort, NC. Mahi-mahi has a lean flesh and mild, sweet flavor, large flakes and is fairly firm.
This week’s fresh wild caught fish offering is Haddock from New Bedford, MA. From our Sea to Table connection, “Haddock is a perfect substitute for cod, whose stock levels are extremely unsustainable in the Atlantic, and is readily found around New England year-round. Haddock meat cooks up very white and has a delicate and slightly sweet taste. The texture is firm, tender and has a finer flake than cod.”
