Golden Tilefish
Catch Info: Fish Landed @ Southport, NC
Capt: Steve Shelley, F/V Mollie D
Catch Method: hook n line
Golden Tilefish
Tilefish is perfect for the broiler or a pan roast – it’s a mild white fish that provides the perfect gateway for exploring species that may not have been on your radar. Customers have also reported poaching this meaty fish in shrimp or lobster stock with great results.

Pan seared Tilefish with Wild Mushrooms and Asparagus
Substitute in recipes that call for grouper, halibut and pollock. This is a great opportunity to refer to the classic Mark Bittman guide, White Fillet a Dozen Ways.

Bodie Island Oysters
CATCH INFO: Cultivated in Roanoke Sound near Wanchese, NC
Grower: Joey Daniels
Sustainably raised on the Roanoke Sound in North Carolina, these oysters are grown in the pristine waters on the estuarine side of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. Growing this close to the mighty Atlantic, these oysters boast a world-class salt-flavor profile. They are pruned through mechanical tumbling several times during their average two-year growth cycle in order to break off the new growth on the lips of the shell, forcing the oyster to slow down and form a deeper cup with a thicker shell. This technique also contributes to their lovely teardrop shape. They are consistently hand-graded and sold in boxes of 100 — not shoveled into bags of an unspecified quantity.
Bodie Island Oysters serves to benefit to our environment, as our farming activity contributes to — rather than taking from — the natural resources provided by the ocean. Our oysters were born in a hatchery and placed in the wild, where they filter millions of gallons of seawater daily. The off-bottom cages where they live keep these oysters grit-free and actually become nursery havens to other species. Like miniature artificial reefs, they are home to barnacles, seaweed, juvenile fish, shrimp, crabs, and — yes — wild oysters, too.

Triggerfish
Triggerfish is back!
RECENT CATCH INFO: Fish landed @ Beaufort, NC
Fisherman: Jimmy Eady F/V ZigZag
Catch method: hook n line
photo: MandolinKitchen
Grey Triggerfish remind us of some of the characters we meet on the coast, thick skinned, but sweet on the inside. Trigger is a “trash fish” success story, not too long ago, folks tossed this catch. The skin of this fish has been compared to a tough baseball glove. We sell the fillets skin off, so no worries about getting that stuck in your teeth. This fillet is firm yet flakes beautiful white meat. It can be substituted in any recipe that calls for snapper.
Triangle area chefs love this fish, but the love doesn’t stop in our corner of the south. Charleston-based Chefs Sean Brock and Mike Lata sing the praises of Trigger in this 2009 Charleston City Paper article. 2009! Chefs have been sweet on this beautiful white fish for ages. Your turn.
See you at the markets!

‘Tis the season to enjoy NC Seafood!
‘Tis the season to enjoy NC Seafood! Our features this weekend, Black Sea Bass and Flounder, produce mild, white fillets and are also great fish to cook whole. Monkfish is back in season and many love it’s sweet flavor + firm, lobster-like texture. Last winter, many customers enjoyed trying Ribbonfish, an unfamiliar but delicious NC fish that’s mild and flaky. It’s back in season, so give it a try this weekend.
JUST IN: Peeled + Deveined NC Shrimp. Ready to thaw and cook, these medium sized shrimp were vacuum packed and flash frozen right after harvest. Perfect for the Holiday Season!
Our NC Oysters are sold shucked by the pint or in-shell by the dozen, peck (~50), half bushel (100+) or bushel (200+). Wild Harvest Pamlico Sound Oysters are larger and perfect for a roast or grill. Chadwick Creek Oysters have a clean, deep cup and are excellent on the half-shell.
