Food Information:

THE FISHERY - Just south of Tallahassee, in the heart of Florida’s “Big Bend” region, is the port City of St Marks. This fishing community boasts that they are the oldest city in the Country (St. Augustine contests...). Here we've partnered with a family that has fished Apalachee Bay and the Gulf of Mexico for six generations. With the highest level of pride, they harvest local Gag Grouper, American Red Snapper, Octopus, Black Bass and the world-renowned Stone Crab Claw. We distribute this magnificent product around the globe, next day air.

THE FISH - Prized as a game fish, the King Mackerel also boasts a luxurious texture and a robust ocean flavor. The Center loin is the real delicacy and fetches the adornment of "real" fish eaters. The culinary applications are vast and call for high heat or slow smoke. Also called "Smokers" because of the high oil content that keeps the Kingfish moist during a dry smoke environment.
