Natural Mussel spat is collected from mid to late summer on the long-lines and brought back to American Mussel. At American Mussel the spat is graded and mesh socks are loaded and returned to the farm in September and October for the growing process. By mid-spring, some of the crop is ready for the market and harvesting begins. Due to the growing process and the unlimited food supply, the shells are as pristine as possible, and the meat is the largest we have seen. The flavor is wonderfully sweet with a slight hint of that wonderful Narragansett Bay salinity. The clean blue shells have waves of gold radiating through.
Flavorful, Creamy, Rich
Shad Roe is a springtime delicacy. The Shad run into the channels of Eastern rivers from the Atlantic to spawn. During this "once-a-year" opportunity, the American Shad is caught and filleted for the Roe. Many seafood lovers are drawn to this special occasion. Shad Roe are high in Fat and therefore remain creamy after cooking. They have a delicate flavor that typically transports other ingredients to the palate.
Moist, Large Flake, Mild
Resembling Smaller White Sea Bass, the Corvina has a mild flakey texture. It is a clean and versatile flavor that holds a plethora of application. This is one of the best Ceviche fish on the market, and can be utilized in any large Snapper and Grouper recipe. A leader in profitability, the Corvina taste and presents much more expensive than it is...
