Oh what a holiday we had! We broke every possible record for our company this holiday season: the most sales ever, the fewest mistakes ever, the most exhausting ever and the most fun ever. Our sales for the week of Christmas were so unexpectedly over the top that I was in shock. New Year's Eve sales were unbelievable as well and our staff earned every penny they made. Good employees make all the difference in the world and I am very thankful for ours.
Now is the time of the year when we all buckle down and take stock of ourselves. New Year's resolutions can include taking a look at your finances, your emotional well-being, your cluttered garage or the gym membership you have been paying for and maybe not using very much. Diets are a big part of the January push for improvement. It doesn't make any sense to drag yourself out to the gym only to come home and eat Fruit Loops for lunch. With a little planning, you can eat delicious, healthy foods with minimal effort.
How's Your Heart?
As you might have guessed from reading my emails, my heart is generally overflowing and I attribute this entirely to my seafood diet. Well, not exactly. The truth is that I am a very grateful person living a very happy life. Being healthy, however, contributes to a sense of well-being and eating seafood twice a week is an easy and tasty way to maintain your health, especially your heart health.Studies show that eating fatty fish twice a week reduces the risk of dying of heart disease by 36%. 36%!!! And seafood provides other benefits as well such as vitamin D, selenium and high levels of protein.
Two of the reasons for generally low seafood consumption in the US are 1. limited access to quality seafood and 2. uncertainty about how to cook seafood.
If you are reading this you must have some appreciation for your access to the best seafood in the area. And if you don't, well, hellloooo. We are right here in your neighborhood selling nothing but the very best products available.
And as far as uncertainty about how to cook it, just ask us! We know!
If you live nearby and are able, stop in and pick up your seafood twice or more a week. If it is out of the way for you, come by once and pick up two meals. Our fish is never frozen so it won't hurt to put a piece in the freezer for a few days.

Fish for the Weekend:
Black bass
Red grouper
Fluke flounder
Cherrystone clams - Milton location only
Black bass - I am always surprised when we bring in black bass for a weekend and there is some left on Sunday afternoon because this is a beautiful fish - inside and out. The outside looks like beautiful black embroidery and the inside is a firm white or pink flesh. The taste is mild and it adapts perfectly to all sorts of sauces. Don't pass this fish up.
Happy New Year Oyster Sale
This weekend only, blue points oysters are $.75 each.
You are going to save so much money on these oysters that you will have enough leftover to pick up one of these lovely oyster plates left from the holidays.
If you are looking for a way to serve oysters at your Super Bowl party or you need a hostess gift to bring to the party you are attending, these gorgeous oyster platters will knock your cleats off. Put them in the freezer to chill if you are serving oysters on the half shell or bake your oysters in them with a topping to create a Bienville or a Rockefeller.
Catch to Go - starting Monday
Parmesan Baked Mahi with Jasmine Rice and Garlic Roasted Asparagus
I was on the highway the other day when I noticed this truck ahead and I just had to take a picture for you.
Finally! Someone who specializes in EVERYTHING! It seems like the Walmart mentality has spread to the moving business! Convenience and mediocrity compete with small businesses like mine that strive to truly specialize. How about making a 2019 resolution to support small business whenever you can? You will taste the difference.
Blessings,
Kathleen
