This squid has not been cleaned - it still has it's ink on the interior. A culinary experience for the adventurous. Check out this video on how to clean a squid. Make it a family event in the kitchen this week, roll up your sleeves and have some fun!
This fish and shellfish is extremely fresh and literally right off of their small boats. All fish are caught using small scale sustainable methods such as hook and line and small gill nets, so that ocean and fish stock damage is minimized. This ensures a sustainable future of quality fish for us, for the fisherman and the communities they live in.
Enjoy within 5 days or freeze for later use.
Red's Best Fish is wild caught and never frozen or processed (other than cutting and packing). They are fresh caught on the Sunday or Monday preceding your order and best enjoyed within five days or they can be frozen. To thaw fish that has been frozen, place in a sealed bag in a bowl of cool water. Allow at least a day to thaw prior to cooking. Depending on the size and cut of fish, thawing times may vary.
Each Week Red's Best's Fisherman will offer us what they expect to be fresh off of their partner small boat day fisherman.
Quality is much higher than what is available at retail stores for a number of reasons.
Fish is handled less and arrives in your kitchen within a few days of the catch.
These fisherman return each day with their catch and do not store or hold fish.
All fish is wild caught and not frozen or processed in any way other than cutting or packaging for travel.
Your fish arrives at Red's Best Monday morning, Farmers To You picks it up Tuesday, and you receive it Wednesdays and Thursdays.
"Dirty" Squid
I knew we would get your attention with this name. Really that is what the fisherman call this - as these squid are not skinned or cleaned. But what that means is that they are extremely fresh and the cleaning process is something that is actually very easy compared to other fish and seafood.
Squid are very seasonal and right now they are being caught by local dayboat fisherman up and down the coast.
