Tonight's pick
Still in the water
Every draw is random — pull again if it does not suit you.
Cut Once, Cut Clean
Every fillet is trimmed by hand the morning it lands: no skin, no bone, no dark meat to patch up. What reaches your pan is the part worth cooking, and it holds its shape under a hot sear.

Shells Keep the Meat
Snow crab, tiger prawns and sea stars are cooked on board and frozen in their shells. The shell buffers the heat, so the centre stays wet and sweet instead of drying out on the way to the plate.

These are the ones I am eating myself
Morning market stock goes fast. I took these photos at the cold store door — the light is nothing special, but the fish is fresh. Ask if you are not sure, no need to be shy.
Cut thick — do not flip it too often
Bright shells mean it has not been frozen too long
Only a few boxes left today
