Item of the Day: Swordfish Steaks

By | Chef's Feed, Gourmet, Grilling Essentials, Item of the Day, Products, Seafood, What Chefs Want

Swordfish Steaks (Frozen)

Swordfish has a firm, meaty texture and is a good source of selenium, niacin, vitamin B12, and zinc. Bright white or pink swordfish meat with a bright red bloodline denotes freshness. 


The textures lends itself to several cooking methods – grilling is an excellent choice this time of year!

Market Alert – Mexican Sprite & Topo Chico 

By | Beverages, What Chefs Want

 

Mexico’s industrial hub, Monterrey, is currently suffering from an intense drought. These conditions, and the water shortages, have lead to halt in production for several products. Topo Chico and Mexican Sprite are two products affected by this. The crisis is ongoing – at this time we do not know when we will be able to source more. 

Quality Market Alert – Asparagus

By | Produce, What Chefs Want

 

Jumbo asparagus will be very limited with sizing smaller than normal. Large asparagus is also going to be a bit smaller than normal. Domestic asparagus is done and Peru is transitioning growing regions. Probably no consistent relief for another 3-4 weeks. 

Domestic asparagus was winding down, but the heat wave that went through most of the country last week ended it abruptly.

Winter is starting in Peru and they just began their transition to their northern fields (closer to the equator). It will be another 3-4 weeks before they are up and running at 100%.

We will get some relief with some central Mexican product, but they have sizing issues too – as a tropical depression hurt their more mature crops about a month ago.
