FRESH JUMBO SNOW CRAB CLUSTERS

FRESH HALIBUT (Halibut has a mild, delicate, and clean flavor with a hint of salt, sweetness, and butter. It's a lean fish with a firmer texture than cod, and it's sometimes compared to the taste of crab. Halibut's flavor profile shines with bold sauces and spices like curries, salsas, and blackened seasoning blends. It's also tasty with softer flavors like lemon, dill, and white wine. Halibut is similar to cod and haddock in flavor and texture. It's also similar to flounder, but halibut is firmer and meatier. Halibut is rich in micronutrients like selenium, magnesium, phosphorus, niacin, vitamin B12, and vitamin B6. Halibut can be prepared in a variety of ways, including pan-searing, baking, grilling, and slow-roasting.

TAKO (Tako, or octopus, has a mild, sweet, and savory flavor with a hint of umami. It's often used in sushi and sashimi, and can also be eaten in tacos and salads.

Here are some ways tako is prepared and what it tastes like in different dishes: Tako nigiri A popular sushi dish made with cooked octopus that has a firm texture and a faint sweetness. Tako wasabi A savory and umami-rich izakaya staple that pairs cooked octopus with a bright wasabi spice. Namadako Raw octopus that's sliced very thinly to prevent it from being too chewy. Namadako highlights the sweetness of the flesh and goes well with a little Okinawa sea salt and sudachi. Tako sushi or sashimiTako is usually boiled before eating to tenderize the meat and bring out its faint flavors. The meat is most tasty if left to rest after cooking until it's cooled to room or body temperature. Italian-inspired appetizer Octopus tentacles can be drizzled with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Grilled octopus, Octopus can be reheated by grilling and finished with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and oregano.

FRESH ROCKFISH (Striped bass has a mild, sweet flavor with a subtle brininess, often described as buttery and not overly fishy, with a firm yet flaky texture due to its moderate fat content; it's considered a versatile fish that pairs well with various cooking methods and seasonings.
