Bill Shucking a Belon Oyster with River our Oyster Expert. Video 1 of 2 Ok, some notes on Belons!! How adventurous do you want to be? The Belon is not Native to North America but now grows wild in Maine. If you’ve never had one, you should try one. For some, like me they are too much. The mineral and copper penny flavor is over powering, but for others these oysters taste like Thanksgiving Stuffing! The mineral zing can be almost like putting a 9-volt battery on your tongue. Electric! They’re not particularly easy to shuck, and “bill shucking,” is an option with these Oys. Or use a slow and firm pressure wiggle-wiggle through the hinge. #belon #oysters #oysteronthehalfshell #wildoysters #maineoysters
Where’s the Beef? At Fishtown Seafood! We now have Wagyu beef! Our model is built on quality, so we thought it seemed right to offer our customers high-quality beef for their home-cooked surf and turf! The Wagyu we currently have is from Australia and is of fantastic quality. For those who have had Waygu in the past, we will see you soon. For those who have not experienced Waygu, you should definitely try it, and soon! This product has a high carbon footprint and has been on an ✈️. #wagyu #wagyubeef
Make Mussels part of your weekly meals. Super easy too cook AND we have the best mussels in Philly! We skip the PEI mussels and go for those made in Maine including: @bangsislandmussels @pemaquidmusselfarm @hollanderanddekoning @moosabecmussels See you at the shop.
We have Grab n’ Go Sushi! Starting Monday, 8/12, we will have sushi, which we make daily in-house, available Monday through Friday at both locations! If you noticed, the time is California Love, and that’s because the roll I am most excited about is our California-I-A roll. Unlike a typical California roll (with imitation crab meat), ours has Jonah crab harvested in the Gulf of Maine. We are using Jawndiments Long Hot Mayo. You will want to try this specialty roll. Our yellowtail scallion roll is made with farm-raised amberjack from Japan that is not treated with carbon monoxide gas. The Salmon cucumber roll is made with farm-raised king salmon from New Zealand. The tuna avocado roll is made with big tuna caught on a long line in Korea. This tuna is super frozen to -76° on board the fishing vessel. This means our tuna is not treated with carbon monoxide gas. It is free of human rights issues on board the fishing vessel and free from illegal transshipment at sea. Oh, and our rice: We are using Nanatsuboshi sushi rice from The Rice Factory in New York. See you at the shops! #sushi #phillyfood #phillyfoodie

Our king salmon is 💣! Check this cooking technique. Here, I use a slow sear technique. Preheat the carbon steel pan (think grilled cheese temp), add a little grapeseed oil, and cover the salmon with salt and oil. Place in the pan and press with our particular fish weight (it’s lighter than cast iron). Rotate the pan every 1 minute to ensure even heat distribution in the pan. Let cook for 6 to 9 minutes, depending on the size and your desired temperature. Flip the salmon and give a quick 20-second kiss on the flesh side to the hot pan. Then serve the best crispy skin salmon you’ve ever had! This technique works on our salmon because we leave the scales on. The scales have cologne, and when they melt, they get super crispy, and the skin will stay crispy for a long time!

Seared Salmon Do you like crispy skin on your salmon? Here are the secrets to making the best crispy skin: 1) Leave the scales on the salmon. Yes, don't remove the scales. Some fish must have the scales removed, but not salmon. The scales are full of collagen, and when enough heat is applied, they will melt and make a crispy layer of goodness. You must have enough heat to melt the scales, or it won't be edible. 2) Use a fish weight and press the salmon. At our shop, We have special weights that are much lighter than the typically cast iron weights that are meant for beef and chicken. Our weights work well with the delicate nature of seafood. 3) Slow and low, cook the salmon slowly at a low temperature. Here, the salmon was cooked on the lowest heat possible #1 for about 7 minutes, skin side down, then flipped, weight removed, heat turned off to rest, and cook the flesh side of the fish for about 2 minutes. 4) Use a carbon steel pan. There is no need for Teflon pans in ANY kitchen. The car on steal has non-stick properties and holds heat like a cast iron. AND it works on induction burners. It is just about a perfect pan. Enjoy the best crispy skin salmon you've ever had! See you at the shop. #salmon #crispyskin #crispyskinsalmon #homechef #howtocook
New Product! Whole Branzino You’ve been asking for whole fish AND now we have Whole Branzino at the shop! They will be available starting this Thursday. Grilled or roasted Branzino is perfect for the home chef because of its delicate flavor, and it also has large bones, so it easy to eat a whole fish at home with little or no experience on how to remove the fillet from the bones. #wholefish #grilledfish #grilledseafood
Seafood Is Seasonal, and our Maine Day Boat Scallops are about to go out of season.😩😩😩 In the past, we had a processor that would Super Freeze our scallops to -76 so we could have scallops all year. However, due to a lack of demand for high-quality seafood from traditional seafood distributors, this processor has closed their doors to processing. This means for 2024, and we can only source these amazing #dayboatscallops in season. The fishery closes on March 27th, so now is the time to eat the best domestic scallops available. We have some nice FAS (Frozen at Sea) scallops to carry us over until next season, but there is nothing like a Maine Inshore Dayboat Scallop! See you at the shop! #seafood #scallops #searedscallops #fishtownhappenings
