From Kelly Probst / Director of Seafood Purchasing for Boat Direct:
“Spent this past week with a number of mongers on the California coast. Well, what else am I going to do when Hurricanes have messed up our Atlantic side fishing so much?!? Hunt the US for cool, unique line caught fish to bring back home!”
“Encinitas has a special place in my heart. Grew up there, Surfed D Street for surf PE in high school and that’s where my love for fish was spawned. Fish are so cool! It is such a pleasure to work with you guys and to see how you treat such amazing creatures with so much respect as they deserve.”

Tomatoes: up $5
The tomato market will experience extreme changes for the next month or so. The local programs in the east are winding up for the year. The crop in North Florida and South Georgia is light on volume and has major weather on the way. California is very light on volume also. Mexico is getting started but there is limited product and quality is all over the board. Roma tomatoes appear to be the shortest product with rounds not far behind.
Potatoes: Up! Harvest numbers are down. Larger sizes up $3-4
Lettuces: Getting active. WAY UP! ALERT!
Cauliflower: WAY UP!
Broccoli: Remains high
Grapes: Steady
Strawberries: Up $1-2
Melons: up $2-3
