Off The Hook Seafood Market***Offerings and Specials***

I'm replacing the old sticky (with JasonL as the poster) with this one and will list my fresh fish and seafood offerings for the day and answer any other questions people have.
I have a pretty decent knowledge base in fresh seafood so I can answer any questions people have about freshness, availability of different species, seasons on seafood, etc. I have been around the seafood business my whole life (I'm 30) and my dad was a commercial fisherman up until he got into the seafood dock business when I was born. I can also source many different seafoods.
For example, someone mentioned goldband oysters yesterday. I can pick up and sell their products too. I just need a heads up on what my customers are looking for and I can definitely try to my best to get it in.
Also, I post under the name JasonL on all other posts but this sticky and will try to contribute where I can.

We just keep them cold, put them in the water cold with the seasoning for about 5-10 minutes and then start the fire. Once the water comes to a boil, boil them for 10-12 minutes and let them soak for 35-40 minutes.
And I never heard of any purging being needed. Maybe someone else can help with that. My brother is the boiling expert but I am learning fast.

No the fresh fish has never been frozen. My family also owns a wholesale seafood company so we already sell fish to restaurants, fish markets, etc. We rotate stock pretty regularly. Any fresh fish that doesn't sell in a few days is sent back to the wholesale company to either be sold or frozen and sold as frozen. For the most part we keep whole fish in our cases at Off The Hook and fillet it when we get orders from the customers. If I don't get an order I just send the whole fish back to the wholesale and they take care of it there. In the next week the wholesale will be over here with the market and it will work out nicely like that.
Shrimp are gulf shrimp and a majority of the time they are fresh. Fresh shrimp is not available all year long so you have to sell frozen (instant quick frozen (or IQF) on the boat) shrimp that is thawed out. These shrimp are frozen minutes after they are caught and are very fresh when frozen. If anyone tells you otherwise about fresh shrimp, they are lying.

Yep they are. IQF shrimp pretty much taste the same as fresh shrimp. The only difference would probably be that fresh shrimp are a little easier to peel.
The majority of restaurants use IQF shrimp instead of fresh shrimp because they are easier to handle and you can thaw out what you need. If you buy fresh shrimp they will start going bad in 3-4 days while with IQF you can thaw out 5 pounds at a time or whatever you need.
The same goes with peeled meat. Probably 95-99% of restaurants use frozen peeled shrimp for their dishes. It is too hard and labor intensive to buy fresh shrimp and peel them yourself. It would take 4-5 extra workers dedicated to just hand peeling shrimp a day to keep up with a restaurant's demand. Just not feasable in the restaurant business. Frozen peeled shrimp are peeled in shrimp factories and frozen while they are nice and fresh so their shouldn't be any problems with freshness there either.

It's looking like the deli will open July 2nd. Hopefully it will that is. We are getting inspected by the fire marshall on the 1st. We already got inspected and passed the board of health inspection. Just waiting on the fire marshall to get out there. We have been waiting for them almost 3.5 weeks now. It's a long process unfortunately.

Thanks for the location. Alot easier for me to go there than to Tony's. I'll definitely go to your location soon.
