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 - Spanish Mackerel are migratory fish and begin in early Spring on a Northern Run, and back down in the Fall. The Spanish Mackerel is a phenomenal Whole Fish Presentation and works Beautifully as a fillet. The Spanish Mackerel is a highly versatile species and is only limited culinarily by the imagination.
