Week of July 13, 2026 - Small World Seafood Update

Hello everybody!!

Well, fun, fun, fun in the sun, sun, sun...We are in the heart of summer right now and you can feel it. The midpoint of the summer season when you think about it. And as quick as this year is flying by, we'll be in sweaters pretty soon. For now, though, we'll just be sweating...One quick note. This Saturday, we are back to going to Queen Village and Moore Brothers in Pennsauken as well.

So, a little good news and a little bad news. Let's start with the good news. This week, we are getting some gorgeous Southern Brasilian swordfish!!! Everybody's favorite along with the locals when they are around, this is the kind of sword that just melts in your mouth...One of those unique fish that can be cooked any way you cook chicken breast. You can pan sear it, grill it, broil it, bake it, schnitzel it, kabob it...anything...

Also, more fresh delicious claw and kncukle lobster meat from Nova Scotia! Can't get enough of these lobster rolls week in and week out. I thought i would get sick of them by now but I think I've built a tolerance to overdoing it with lobster. I may be able to eat often forever and ever....

So, a little bad news which isn't that bad but is what it is. Crab meat. That market is going berzerk. Fresh crab meat from Venezuela has been non existent which really hurts supply. Especially during the summer months. Indonesia has seen a major drop in biomass limiting that supply as well. So, here we are. I am bringing in some lump crab meat (not Jumbo lump but lump) from the Philippines which will cost $38. I have a very limited amount of the essential blend with more coming in August. We've been here before. A similar thing happened in the first couple of years of covid. We'll get through this too.

Back to the good news. Fresh and blast frozen Faroe Island salmon and hokkaido scallops are in. Sushi grade on both. 

A nice shot of Boston mackerel fillets are in too!!!

We have branzini, rainbow trout, Chilean seabass, Black cod, hamachi loins and kamas...

For special items, we have more shrimp and crab canneloni in vodka cream sauce. Also, fish meatballs in creamy pesto sauce. 

And as always, I am still keeping my eyes peeled for something else coming our way. You never know..There are a few possibilities still to reveal themselves....

You see how much fun we can have? I feel it too...

PEI mussels are the shellfish of the week....Pair with Settentatre Pasta Co's organic fresh spinach linguini for cheapest meal ever!!  More Katama's oysters from Martha's Vineyard... We have labneh and smoked fish..So many good things..

Plenty of crab meat, shrimp, etc....

I know, I know..Lots of words...

Anyway, as usual, I have to thank all of you guys for being in our lives. What an incredible community we live in...
