Market Report 5/19/2009

The anticipation is finally over as the Copper River fishery opens this week! Pricing is anticipated to be very high as the first stocks hit the shore. We expect pricing to slowly decrease as the season gets underway. Talk to your sales rep and pre-order this highly anticipated product!

More good news as the Soft Shell Crab fishery has opened to good supply! Whales, Jumbos, Primes, and Hotels are all available on a pre-order basis either live or dressed!

Groundfish pricing will continue to be high as supply is limited due to closures. Because spawning typically occurs during the month of May, many fisherman choose to take their 20 day required tie up during this time. This results in very limited supply and high prices.

Mussel Spawning Notice

Mussel spawning season is just around the corner. Typically, spawning season occurs late in the spring time, however it can be unpredictable. It is important to note that spawning does not affect the quality or taste of the meat.
If allowed to go untreated, the spawn will produce a rancid odor resulting in non-saleable product. Spawn is usually marked by the presence of a thick light orange liquid.

Please follow these steps to ensure a quality, saleable mussel supply:
1. Visually inspect product for spawn.
2. Keep Mussels on ice and as close to 34°F as possible
3. If you notice the Mussels have released spawn, immediately rinse with fresh cold water. Rinse, drain and re-ice bottom of box before returning mussels to refrigeration.
