St Mark's Fleet
ST. MARK'S FLEET- Just south of Tallahassee, in the heart of Florida’s “Big Bend” region is the port City of St Marks. Just one mile off of the Gulf of Mexico, our Appalachee Bay fishermen offload their prized catch and distribute nationwide next day.
Captains Andy and Johnny are brothers of a family that has fished Apalachee Bay and the Gulf of Mexico for six generations. They both captain a boat in the family’s five boat fleet. The most notable end result of their efforts is the renowned claw of the Florida Stone Crab. However, lest we forget the pristine Gulf Fish Species: Pot Trap Caught Black Sea Bass, Sweetlip Grunts and Octopus; Hooked Red Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Black Grouper, Scamp Grouper, and Red Grouper. From their family to your staff, they provide one of the best Gulf programs out there.

Succulent, Mild, Clean, Moist
A reasonable resemblance to the fillet shape of Sea Bream and Snapper, however, the Rockfish surpasses those species in "Fat". The Rockfish is a deep water species that packs on "fat" to regulate body temperature. This translates to an incredible silkiness and succulence. The Paper White Cooked flesh is mild and slightly firm with incredible flake. The Rockfish is clean and opaque raw and is a formidable Sashimi and Sushi choice. With all of the creaminess of Tai and Madai, the Rockfish holds up to the most educated palates. Sashimi, Ceviche, Saute, Broil.
White, Firm, Flavorful
Typically sold as a cooking Sea Bream, the Tarakihi offers a complex natural flavor that is resemblant of sea water with mineral undertones. They have a wonderful balance of sweetness and earthiness. The Tarakihi offers a great yield and diverse abilities as a food fish. Plus, Jackass Morwong is just fun to say...
Moist, Flakey, Delicate
Ling Cod are the definition of succulence. They are a very deep water dweller. This extreme cold water makes it necessary for the fish to pack on "fat" to regulate body temperature. Halibut has the same trait as a species. The Ling Cod will offer one of the highest moisture contents in the Cod market. This is a seasonal fishery and is typically caught by Halibut Boats in Alaska. Give the Ling Cod a place on your "Feature Board" and your guests will rave. This is free marketing that we could all benefit. Poach, Broil, Saute, Fry.
