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.

Icelandic cod is wild caught in the deep, cold waters of the Atlantic Ocean surrounding Iceland. This fish is hook and line caught which greatly reduces the stress on the fish and in turn, the meat has a much more firm texture. The hook and line method also dramatically reduces the amount of by-catch which is one of the leading causes of overfishing. The Icelandic cod fishery is MSC (Marine Stewardship Council) recommended for it's responsible and sustainable methods of fishing.

Bluenose is one of the great New Zealand Food Fish. It inhabits deep offshore trenches, and produces some of the most succulent flesh from New Zealand waters. The deep water habitat forces the species to adapt to the environment. This translates to a rich "antifreeze" within the muscle structure. This "fat" is found in many of the world's most popular fish. King Salmon, Northern Halibut, Butterfish, and Black Cod all have this. Bluenose offers a clean and versatile fillet from market sizes ranging 10 to 25 lbs. The white fat in the muscle striations flake large and moist.
