Wild Striped Bass is here and its larger than life! Straight out of the North Atlantic, these monsters are weighing in around 20-25 pounds yielding delicious firm flaky fillets!

Chilean salmon supply will be tight due to a Chilean Customs strike. Now is a great time to try out our Irish Organic Salmon or our Loch Duart Salmon! We will also be bringing in an abundant supply of Canadian salmon fillets!

Market Report 11/17/2008



Pollock (aka Blue Cod) out of the Gulf of Maine continues to be plentiful! This fresh catch of the week is a flavorful, affordable menu item!



North Atlantic exports out of Icelandic waters are currently very strong... The weakening Euro, continues to make the pricing on imported goods more and more attractive!



In an ever increasing "Green" conscious society, Loch Duart Salmon Fishery has been forced to expand its production in order to keep up with the demand for this delicious, sustainably raised salmon!



Overproduction of Frozen Thai Shrimp has lead to a cutback in the industry in attempts to stabilize the price. Contessa pricing should therefore be stable throughout the holidays!



Halibut Season OFFICIALLY ENDED NOVEMBER 15TH!

Frozen whole, portions, and fletch will be available from here on out!
