Welcome to Pickford's!
Alaskan Cod will not be available till this coming Friday. Pickford should have this issue resolved by the end of the week, so beginning next Tuesday Alaskan Cod will be available.
Sadley, late April brought one of the worst frosts I believe I have ever witnessed in Virginia. The temperatures dropped to 29 degrees for well over 4 hours devastating Virginia wineries, Orchards, Farms, Gardens, and the livelihood of so many hard working individuals! Please keep this in mind next time you're out shopping, please purchase local products as often as possible.
Pickford's will be making his Smoked Salmon Spread tomorrow, May 5th.
Please, in order to fill all preorders please call or email them in before 12:00 noon.

Fresh Catch Tuesday...
FRESH JUMBO SNOW CRAB CLUSTERS
FRESH HALIBUT (So what does halibut actually taste like? When impeccably fresh the white flesh has a subtly sweet flavor with barely any fishiness. Here are some key notes on halibut’s taste profile
Halibut has a much mellower taste than oily fish like salmon or mackerel. There is only a whisper of that savory umami flavor. Without the fattiness, halibut has a lighter mouthfeel than salmon or tuna, even when cooked. Think of it as a canvas for other ingredients rather than a stand-alone flavor.
FRESH BIGEYE TUNA (The distinctive bigeye tuna flavor profile makes it one of the most prized species among sushi chefs and seafood connoisseurs worldwide. Understanding these flavor characteristics helps explain why bigeye commands premium prices in global markets.
Primary Flavor Notes:
FRESH FLOUNDER (Flounder is a mild-tasting fish with a slightly sweet undertone. Its texture is delicate and fine with low levels of oiliness and moisture. Fishes with a similar flavor profile include halibut, tilapia, and branzino.)
FRESH SNAKE RIVER RAINBOW TROUT (While it is related to salmon, it has a much milder flavor that is nutty and a little sweet. I find rainbow trout to be a decadent-tasting fish for an economical price. The texture of the flesh is super soft and flakes delicately when properly cooked. It has a luscious texture and feels really rich, but the fat comes from anti-inflammatory omega-3 fats that are great for the body. Rainbow trout is fattier than white fish such as haddock, cod, tilapia, pollock, flounder, and halibut.
FRESH ICELANDIC COD LOIN-OUT(Succulent, delicate in flavor. Our No.1 Icelandic Cod Loin is the best cut of cod, deliciously chunky and succulent, with a delicate flavour. It's hooks and lines, Danish seines, and demersal trawls caught in the cold, clear, responsibly managed waters around Iceland, by boats that go out to fish every day. Boneless and skinless, the loin fillets are delicious oven baked with a little tartare sauce and a lemon and pepper crumb on top, served with roasted baby potatoes and pea shoots. This seafood comes from a fishery that has been independently certified to the MSCs environmental standard for fishing.) OUT
FRESH SCOTTISH SALMON (The texture is where Scottish salmon truly shines. Due to the cold water and strong currents, these fish are naturally athletic. This results in a firm, muscular flesh that isn’t soft or mushy. The key characteristics are:
Firm Flake: When cooked, the flesh separates into large, succulent flakes.
Buttery Mouthfeel: The high content of omega-3 fatty acids creates a rich, melt-in-your-mouth sensation.
Silky Smoothness: Whether served raw as sashimi or gently cooked, the texture is consistently smooth and luxurious.
