St Petersburg Fleet - Jutting between the pristine waters of the Gulf Of Mexico and the vast span Atlantic Ocean, Florida Vessels have the best of both worlds. Day Boat and Long Line Fisheries produce a bounty of tropical species as well as migratory predators and pelagic species.
Ask any fish monger about procuring Gulf species and he’ll mention St. Petersburg, Florida (“St. Pete” for short). Vast varieties of fin-fish ranging from tuna and swordfish to groupers and snappers are distributed through this historically-rich region of the Florida coastline. Expect to also see a robust selection of Keys-caught species like yellowtail snapper, Caribbean Red Snapper and Hogfish to come through St. Pete. It’s regionally situated in a perfect location for national distribution and with our Q&A in place, it’s always top quality.

With sustainability at the forefront of their operation, you can rest assured that the quality is that of wild species, but with a more direct logistic avenue. Ocean Trout behave just like fatty Salmon on the plate and in the pan. However the subtle mild flavor is a blank canvas for culinary creation.

The Sea Tiger has long been a staple food source for Asia. Regarded as a gorgeous, yet monstrous Saltwater Prawn, the Sea Tiger begins the bite with a snap. The subsequent chew offers a creamy and buttery texture that is full of sweetness. The Sea Tiger lends itself to many versatile applications. The usage is as vast as the culinary imagination. Soldier packing allows the Prawn to retain its structural integrity. Attached legs and antennae show that the Sea Tiger have been handled with the utmost care. This translates to a brilliant plate presentation. Broil, Poach, Saute, Grill, Ama Ebi.
