This week kicked off the Chicago Gourmet Dine Around!!! Restaurants have been slammed with ravenous diners racking up their dinner receipts in order to score a free ticket to the epic culinary celebration, Chicago Gourmet 2010 that takes place in Chicago’s Millennium Park on the weekend of September 25^th. What are you planning for your Dine Around Menus?? All eyes of the industry will be on Chicago Chefs over the next few weeks leading up to the festivities & we’re rolling in some of the sexiest aquatic critters to keep your menus at the global pinnacle of culinary excellence!! We are ecstatic to be hosts of the Supreme Lobster & Seafood Pavilion where a gathering of some of the finest culinary minds will be presenting incredible creations. We’re looking forward to seeing you all there.

We’re going to keep this quick & let Chicago Chefs fight….Wild Arctic Char from Cambridge Bay in Canada’s Nunavut region have arrived. Let the frenzy begin……………………..

The weekend is looking solid on a ton of seasonal Atlantic species but 2 approaching storms are going to keep fishermen hunkered down starting Friday or Saturday which will drastically tighten up supplies to start next week. Massachusetts Rock Bass wrapped up last week and fishing opened in Rhode Island to an increased demand and shortened supply. Rocks are being offered, however Big Love has chosen wisely to wait out the storm so to speak. The season for Martha’s Vineyard Marbled Summer Fluke is gradually winding down. We have new drops of Massive 4#+ Marbled Fluke from the boys in Menemsha slated to hit us for the remainder of the week but we’re recommending starting to think of new sets and applications for the month of September. We’re expecting a limited 1^st offering of Black Sea Bass & Silver Bream from the Evangeline, a vessel out of Edgartown on the Northeastern Vineyard to arrive on Friday. These will be sold before they even hit so be sure to get with your peeps today if you are looking to party down with either of these folks this weekend. We also just took hold of some killer Hampton Virginia Red Drum along with Cavalla Kingfish & Crevalle Black Tailed Trevally from the crew in Wanchese North Carolina!! As we said earlier, we recommend jumping on these puppies while the getting’s good because things are going to tighten up quick.

Canada’s Fraser River, the longest river within British Columbia, rising at Fraser Pass near Mount Robson in the Rocky Mountains has been the site of some of the most incredible Wild Sockeye Salmon harvesting to date this season!! Fraser River Sockeyes have been arriving within a day of being pulled from the frigid Canadian Waters where we allow them to rest and naturally come out of rigor. The Fraser River Sockeye’s diet which is rich in krill and other tiny shellfish allow fish to bulk up to a massive 5#+ with a unique deep amber bloom & surprisingly high intermuscular fat levels. With the winding down of other Pacific Northwest Fisheries like Alaskan Halibut and Wild Chinook, we are loving what these small vessels out of this narrow stretch have been providing us!!

California has been coming into nice trips of incredible fishing lately!! We just took hold of a good amount of Magdalena Bay Goliath Black Bass & Monterey White Bass today along with the new season’s offerings of Live Pink Amaebi Spot Prawn & Gindara Sable from the La Jolla Canyon, an area west of Mission Bay. We are being told by our peeps to expect great runs of Sable & Live Spots for the next couple of months so these are definitely species you want to consider on any menu changes coming up!!

And that finally brings us to the offerings from our favorite island girl, Hope!! We have daily flights of Moku Manu Shelf #1++ Fatty Big Eye Tuna & Red Tombo hitting this week along with an extremely limited supply of Sapphire Uhu from Kialua and Giant Emperor Mu’u AKA “Mother of Dragons” that was harpooned near Ala Moana, just east of Mamala Bay, Honolulu. It’s allot to take in so read it slowly and try to pronounce as best you can kids but don’t wait too long. These offerings are caught by single divers and are extremely limited.
