Baja Bay Scallops, Rainbow Trout, and New England Clam Chowder

 

Happy Friday from the Catch Crew!

First Things First - Question Time! We're trying to put together some new Catch to Go options for you all (but in a different format than you've seen from us before) and we need your help! Please click this link and complete just 2 questions for us. Thank you in advance!

New England Clam Chowder Today, February 25th, is National New England Clam Chowder Day! Guess what? We always have our amazing hot soup that you can have for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Stop in to grab one! If you are the ambitious sort, you can also make your own version at home using this great recipe. Click here.

Rainbow Trout - the Slimier, the Better! Have you noticed that the rainbow trout in our cases appears slimy or slippery? That's a good thing! Rainbow trout secrete a mucus that protects them from infection and abrasion when they go up over rocks and sticks in rivers. We don't wash that goo off before selling it because it is a sign of freshness, but you can wash if off before cooking it. Don't let the slime fool you - we only sell you the prettiest, freshest fish out of our cases!

Species Spotlight: Baja Bay Scallops *Weekend Special Item* From the bay in Baja, Mexico, these scallops have a sweet taste with a hint of the sea and a firm, velvety texture. Smaller than our typical dry sea scallops, they are still just as versatile for soups, salads, and are chem-free! Today until Sunday only, while supplies last, each store will have 5 lbs to sell and they are specially priced at just $17.99/lb. Here are few recipes to try out when you grab some this weekend: Bay Scallop Ceviche Creamy Orzo with Bay Scallops, Asparagus, and Parmesan

Customer Recipe Feature Last week we put up this recipe (Grilled Striped Bass with Bacon Vinaigrette, Red Smashed Potatoes, and Sautéed Butter & Thyme Mushrooms). One of our customers sent in this picture with this to say: We changed the recipe to use fresh sea bass from Kathleen’s Catch. This meal needs to be featured on the food channel, extremely delicious. - Brian & Barbara P. It looks delicious - you guys did a great job!

WEEKLY SPECIAL 02/25 - 03/03 while supplies last 6 oz. Monk Portions for $10.49/ea AND Fresh Mussels for $5.99/lb Citrus-Glazed Monk Skewers Easy Baked Mussels
