Range & Habitat
St Pete Fleet
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.

Rich, Succulent, Buttery, Mild
If you are looking for a rich and buttery substitute for your Salmon program, Skye Trout is a phenominal resource. 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.
Robust, Sweet
Silver Mouth Snapper or Iron Jaw is an adventurous predator, swimming against strong currents around deep water ledges to obtain his favorite fishy fair. With this rigorous feeding routine, the Lehi stays lean and mean, providing firm pink flesh and a flakey flavorful finished menu selection. Lehi boasts one of the most robust flavor profiles in the group. A real fish eaters’ fish.
