Fresh, Sustainable Seafood!

By Joey | Seafood, Southern Foods, What Chefs Want

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.”

Cajun Country popcorn rice highlights rice varieties grown in Louisiana that have fragrant qualities. The rice is very popular because of its unique taste and aroma. It adds a warm essence and lively character to any dish. Popcorn rice is a long grain and can be enjoyed with any recipe. We especially love to accompany it with red beans.
