Hand Gathered Chocolate Clams from Magdalena Bay, offer a rare opportunity to treat your guests to the Clams that Rick Bayless treats his. Gathering of the Clams have been, until recently, prohibited. Upon the latest biomass evaluation, populations are recorded as very strong and are now available for distribution. Chocolate Clams have a complex Pacific brine that finishes sweet and buttery. Best served raw, but will tolerate light cooking. Seviche, Sashimi, Crudo, Lightly Steamed, Lightly Saute, Stuffed.

Ehu are very popular in Hawaiian food fish markets. With incredible sweetness and a paperwhite appearance in cooking, the species have a beautiful plate presentation. The Ehu is a great alternative to more expensive Snappers and Sea Bass. Ceviche, Sushi, Saute, Pan Roast, Broiled.

Like other premium Hawaiian snappers, Uku has a clear, pale pink flesh that is delicately flavored. The oil content is high, the flake is medium and the moisture content is moderate. Some local chefs argue the Uku has a slightly fuller flavor than the sub-tile Opakapaka. The sashimi grade flesh will take high heat well and firm and tighten once heat is applied. The Uku is a handsome fish which reminds me of the Eastern Seaboard Black Bass. It has a lighter colored grey skin, friendly looking eyes and a stream-lined head with a masculine jaw-line that appears to smile at you.  Uku harvested during the summer spawning season is often rich in natural fat, a desirable attribute for any sashimi application. Uku is one of the few cool to warm water temperature snappers that is safe to serve raw.
