FURTHER IDENTIFY SPECIALTY ITEMS OFFERED

The Wild Caught in the U.S.A. logo is used to identify species that are naturally wild caught, live on a wild diet in the waters of the United States, and are caught using long-line, trawling, purse-seining, or gill-netting methods. Species that are typically wild-caught include Lobster, oysters, shrimp, scallops, crab, salmon, clams, cod, halibut, sablefish, and rockfish.

The Farm Raised in the U.S.A. logo is used to identify species that are raised on aquaculture farms throughout the United States. Generally this process starts in a hatchery and the seafood is later released into contained, quality environments. These fish are commonly fed grain diets. Channel catfish, trout, clams, salmon, and mussels are species typically farm-raised in the United States.

Performance Foodservice’s Species Verification program utilizes DNA testing to validate commonly mislabeled species such as grouper, red snapper.

SHRIMP

COMPARISON CHART

what is it?

Shrimp is the most popular seafood eaten in the United States. It represents over 25 percent of the nation’s annual per capita seafood consumption. This calculation indicates that the average consumer eats 4 pounds of shrimp per year.

types & sources

There are numerous species of shrimp which can be collectively sold under the single term – shrimp. Occasionally they are sold as prawns, which is a term that refers to larger varieties that are more common in certain international markets. The term, camarones, is Spanish for shrimp or prawns. There are a variety of different types and sources of shrimp available in U.S. markets. Cold water shrimp are the smaller varieties harvested in ocean waters in the northwest and northeast regions of the United States and Canada. They are known as Pandalid shrimp. A popular species is the pink colored Pandalus Borealis commonly used in salads, soups or chowders. Coldwater shrimp are only available previously cooked and peeled (shell removed). Warm water shrimp are harvested and farmed in tropical and sub-tropical regions around the world. They include Penaeus and Litopenaeus species that are more commonly sold by reference to basic shell colors (white, brown and pink shrimp). Additional names can include tiger, banana and hopper shrimp. Buyer preferences are usually directed by taste, texture, size and costs which will vary from one species to another.

SCALLOPS

what is it?

Scallops are one of the most popular seafood items due to their unique appealing texture and succulent flavors. U.S. fishermen have landed between 50 and 60 million pounds of scallops annually over the past decade, and it is one of the nation’s most valuable fisheries. Scallops have been among the top ten seafood items consumed in the U.S. for decades, and Americans eat about one-third pound of scallops per year.

forms & buyer advice

Scallops are available as fresh refrigerated meats or frozen meats. Size categories refer to the size of the adductor muscle (scallop meats) which is the main edible portion of the scallop. Scallop size categories can be simply grouped as large, medium and small. There are no enforced grade designations for scallop size. However, in general large scallops are likely to have between 10 and 30 meats per pound, medium scallops between 30 and 70 per pound, and small scallops between 70 and 110 per pound.

Scallop adductor muscle has a tendency to absorb water when removed from the shell. Likewise, the meats can lose moisture when thawed or stored in refrigeration for some time. For the larger varieties, buyers can specify a purchase for ‘dry’ or ‘wet’ scallops, which refers to prior processing procedures that can influence the moisture content in the scallop. Wet scallops may be treated during processing to retain moisture. Dry scallops are not treated.

In some markets whole scallops are sold as a specialty item, but most U.S. consumers prefer the adductor muscle alone. Similar to oysters and clams, scallops are filter feeding bivalves (two shells) that can be influenced by the contents of the surrounding waters. Certain plankton and the presence of scallop roe can influence the color of some scallop meats. Such coloration (tan, yellow and orange tones - also known as “pumpkins”) is not a product defect.

The old tale about scallops being made by punching out round portions from some other fish is just that, an old tale. There is no financial incentive for this practice and the resulting products would be very easy to detect.

what is it?

The term “salmon” refers to a variety of species that are all “anadromous” fish, which means they are born in fresh water rivers and streams, migrate to the ocean to mature and spend much of their adult life, and then return to the streams and rivers in which they were born to spawn (reproduce) and then die.

Salmon has been the third most frequently consumed seafood product in the U.S. for most of the past decade. Average consumption has consistently been around 2 pounds per person per year, surpassed only by shrimp and canned tuna. Two thirds of the salmon consumed in the United States is farmed and imported primarily from Norway, Chile and Canada.

species

ATLANTIC SALMON

The majority of salmon currently consumed in the U.S. is farm raised Atlantic salmon from Canada, Chile and Norway. Farmed Atlantic salmon is primarily sold as fresh or frozen dressed fish, fillets or steaks. Commercial fishing for wild Atlantic salmon is prohibited in the U.S. because wild population levels in the eastern U.S. are extremely low.

SOCKEYE SALMON

Sockeye salmon is caught by U.S. fishermen, mainly in Alaskan waters. Sockeye salmon is sold fresh, frozen and canned.

SALMON

nutrition

All types of salmon provide a good source of high quality protein and the heart healthy omega-3 fatty acids. The fat and omega-3 content varies from one species to another. Total fat content ranges from approximately 4 to 11 grams per 3 ounce cooked serving. Omega-3 fatty acid content ranges from 700 to 1,800 milligrams of omega-3 fatty acids per 3 ounce cooked serving. A summary of the fat and omega-3 content of the six commercially important salmon species is provided in the chart below. Salmon is also a good source of a variety of vitamins and minerals. Canned salmon that contains bones is also a good source of calcium.

Preparation and Preservation

Smoked salmon begins with high-quality salmon fillets that are carefully cured using salt, sometimes combined with sugar or spices. This curing process draws out moisture and helps preserve the fish. After curing, the fillets are smoked—either over wood chips or in a controlled smokehouse—to infuse a rich, savory flavor. This traditional method not only enhances the taste but also extends the shelf life, making smoked salmon a timeless delicacy.

Varieties and Textures

There are two main styles of smoked salmon, each offering a unique experience. Coldsmoked salmon is cured and then smoked at low temperatures, resulting in a silky, delicate texture and a subtly smoky taste. It remains uncooked and is often sliced thin. In contrast, hot-smoked salmon is smoked at higher temperatures, which fully cooks the fish. This variety is firmer, flakier, and has a more robust flavor, appealing to those who prefer a heartier bite.

Flavor and Culinary Uses

Smoked salmon is known for its deep, smoky aroma, buttery texture, and balanced notes of salt and sweetness. Its versatility makes it a favorite in both traditional and modern dishes. From topping bagels with cream cheese to enriching pastas, salads, and appetizers, smoked salmon adds elegance and depth to any plate. It’s a popular choice for hors d’oeuvres, brunch spreads, and gourmet recipes that call for a bold yet refined seafood element.

LOBSTER

types & product sources

There are two distinct lobster fisheries in the United States, the American lobster off the coast of New England and Eastern Canada, and the spiny lobster in the Florida Keys. The American lobster fishery is one of the most valuable fisheries in the United States with an average total catch of approximately 90 to 100 million pounds worth up to $400 million annually. In addition to U.S. lobster harvests, a large amount of northern lobsters are imported from Canada. The lobster’s habitat is rocky areas from just below the surface to depths of 2,300 feet, although they are usually concentrated at depths of 130 feet. Lobsters molt as they age, and it is estimated the American lobster will molt over 20 times in 5 to 8 years before reaching the minimum size for commercial fishing.

The spiny lobster fishery lands approximately 4 to 6 million pounds annually with a value between $20-40 million. Most of the spiny lobster sold in the U.S. is imported. These lobsters can be found in dense vegetation as juveniles and eventually migrate to coral reefs as adults. Like American lobsters, the spiny lobsters will molt about 25 times in the first 5 to 7 years of life. The minimum size for commercial and recreational fisheries is 3 inches.

The U.S. export over 50 million pounds of lobster annually, with the main importer being Canada, followed by Italy, Spain and France. The U.S. and Canada are the major suppliers of lobster in the world. There is currently no aquaculture of lobsters, although feasibility studies have been done for both commercial species.

As with any seafood product, one should purchase lobster and lobster meat from a reputable source that has high standards for quality and sanitation. Live lobster quality can decrease as it is stored in tanks, so it is best to buy from a source with a high volume of sales. Lobsters can be stored alive out of water in a moist environment for up to one day.

TYPES OF F ILLETS

WHOLE FILLET

The whole fillet is not common in the United States.

FILLET

Pronounced fil-let, it is sides of a fish that have been cut away from the backbone and removed in one piece. Fillets are cut from large flatfish like cod, haddock, halibut, flounder, etc.

V-CUT

Removes the pinbone (a set of small bones found behind the ribs), along with a strip of flesh. A V-Cut resembles a “V” with the narrow point of the “V” being the tail and the widest part of the “V” being near the head.

J-CUT

Removes the pinbone and the nape (a small thin piece of fatty meat near the front of the bottom belly).

nutritional overview

CALORIES

Seafood is low in calories compared to meats like beef or chicken. Lean fish like cod or flounder have around 100 calories in a 3-ounce serving. Even fattier fish like salmon or mackerel have about 200 calories. Because it’s lower in calories but still high in protein, seafood is a smart choice if you’re trying to lose weight or stay at a healthy weight.

PROTEIN

Seafood is a great source of protein and has all the nutrients our bodies need. Just 3 ounces of cooked fish or shellfish gives about one-third of the protein we need each day. It’s also easier to digest than red meat or chicken because it has less tough tissue. That’s why fish flakes when cooked and is easy to eat. This makes seafood a good option for older adults or anyone who has trouble chewing or digesting food. FAT

Seafood is low in total fat and saturated fat. Experts recommend we eat less fat overall, especially saturated fat. Lean fish have much less fat than other protein foods. Most fish and shellfish have under 5% total fat. Even the fattier fish have fat levels similar to lean meats and less than things like ground beef or dark poultry meat. Fatty fish like mackerel, herring, and King salmon have about 15% fat. As a rule of thumb, fish with white or light-colored flesh (like cod and flounder) are low in fat, while darker fish (like salmon and mackerel) have more fat.

HEADFISH headf ish nutrition: 5 amazing health

Are you fond of eating fish? If yes, then you must know how nutritious the fish is! Usually, people use the body of a fish for food and throw away its head. Whereas the reality is that the head of the fish is more nutritious than the body of the fish. A fish head is rich in many vitamins, minerals and healthy fat (and are one of the healthiest foods for your health). Some people find fish head very tasty. Let’s tell you 5 such benefits of eating the fish head. Do you know that it saves you from many life-threatening diseases?

HEALTHY PROTEINS

The fish head is the best source of healthy proteins. Saturated fat is much lower in the fish head than other meat products. So eating it does not increase cholesterol. If you consume fish instead of red meat, then you are at very low risk of cardiovascular diseases like heart attack and stroke.

GOOD SOURCE OF OMEGA 3 FATTY ACIDS

There are a good amount of omega fatty 3 acids in the head of the fish. The body of the fish has more omega fatty 3 acids than its body. Omega acid protects you from heart diseases. All the research claims that diets containing omega 3 fatty acids reduce the cholesterol in your body and the problem of heart diseases like heart attack, stroke, irregular heartbeats etc.

BENEFICIAL FOR THE EYES AND BRAIN

There is a very good amount of vitamin A in the head and brain part of the fish. Therefore, its intake is very good for your eyes and brain. Vitamin A enhances eyesight (vision) and helps to keep the eyes healthy for a long time. Vitamin A is known to increase the immunity of the body. Also, being a natural antioxidant, vitamin A fights free radicals and reduces oxidative stress.

DEPRESSION AND MENTAL HEALTH

Research suggests that eating a diet that contains omega 3 fatty acids and DHA keeps the brain healthy and protects against mental illnesses such as stress, depression. Since omega-3 fatty acids cannot be made by your body (on your own), it is necessary to consume such items, which contain omega-3 fatty acids. The fish head contains a good amount of omega acid, which can be beneficial for you.

DIABETES AND ARTHRITIS

It is also beneficial for patients with diabetes and arthritis due to the many nutrients present in the fish head. Your intake increases your metabolism and increases immunity. Apart from this, eating fish head also reduces the risk of autoimmune diseases.

SHELLFISH

what is it?

The term “shellfish” is used both broadly and specifically. In common parlance, as in “having shellfish for dinner”, it can refer to anything from clams and oysters to lobster and shrimp. For regulatory purposes it is often narrowly defined as filter-feeding mollusc’s such as clams, mussels and oysters to the exclusion of crustaceans and all else.

Although the term is primarily applied to marine species, edible freshwater invertebrates such as crayfish and river mussels are also sometimes grouped under the umbrella term “shellfish”.

INSIDE LOOK: CLAMS

Surf clams offer little waste: shells serve as containers for stuffed dishes, and the twin adductor muscles (white cylinders attached to the shell) are delicious as is the juice, or “nectar”. These clams are less flavorful than hard shells. Cooked, the chewy white meat is mild and sweet. Raw meat is whitish-orange. Cooked meat ranges in color from ivory to golden yellow, with some dark areas. Canned clams should be in clear to opaque liquid. Breading should be intact on breaded product.

AN INSIDE LOOK AT

CLAMS

HARD-SHELL CLAMS

Atlantic surf clams and ocean quahogs, also known as hard clams, are both commercially harvested in New England and the Mid-Atlantic. Hard clams are farmed primarily in Virginia, Florida, Connecticut, and Washington, while geoduck clams are primarily farmed in Washington and Alaska.

SURF CLAMS

Surf clams, also known as sea clams (Spisula solidissima as pictured)

The United States is the only source for surf clams, which are too big and too coarse to be eaten whole like other clams. Instead, they are sold processed, rather than live, in fresh, frozen and canned products such as clam strips, minced clams, stuffed clams, chowders, and broth. Surf clams can be hand shucked or mechanically shucked. Hand shucking provides a more tender product.

OCEAN

QUAHOG

Ocean quahog or when young, referred to as Mahogany clams (Arctica islandica as pictured)

Ocean quahog meat is pinkish in color and firmer in texture than other clams, with a somewhat stronger taste. Most ocean quahogs are sold processed (minced, chopped or cut into strips) or in value-added products such as chowders, bisques, and sauces. Smaller ocean quahogs from Maine waters are marketed as “mahogany clams” and are sold on the half-shell market or for steaming.

NORTHERN QUAHOG (Mercenaria mercenaria as pictured)

These clams are farm raised primarily in Virginia, Florida, Washington, and Con necticut. The smaller the clam, the more valuable it is. Smaller clams are typically served steamed or raw, while larger clams, sold for lower value per weight, often appear in chowders.

These clams are available fresh in shell and must be kept alive until serving. Once cooked the clam shell opens, providing access to the meat inside.

Quahog clams are more commonly known by other names based upon their size. The sizes of this clam are as follows:

• Little Neck: The smallest size clam, amounting to 7-10 clams per pound.

• Cherry Stone: A little larger, you’ll get 6-10 cherry stone clams per pound.

• Top Neck: These are sometimes also labeled as count neck clams, and they equal roughly 4 clams per pound.

• Quahog: These big guys are also called chowder clams and weigh in at a mighty 2-3 clams per pound.

OYSTERS

did you know?

There are over 200 species of oysters in the world, but only a few species are commonly used for food. Most species are too scattered or too small to harvest for food, and some are collected for their thorny and wing-shaped ornamental shells. Oysters are bivalve (two shells) mollusks that obtain their food by pumping water through their system and filtering small organisms from surrounding waters. They grow near the bottom and attach themselves in clusters to hard surfaces or shells. The edible varieties are usually cultivated in approved coastal waters that are closely monitored to assure product safety. These extra measures for product safety are necessary because many consumers prefer to eat raw oysters.

product information

Oysters can be purchased in many forms. Whole oysters (shellstock) have both shells intact and usually come alive and may be cooked in the shell, or shucked to remove the raw meat for cooking. Half-shelled oysters are typically prepared at the restaurant or bar as a raw selection or a cooked product with special toppings. Shucked meat is the edible portion removed from the shell and sold in pints, gallons, trays or other containers. The meats can be used as an ingredient in recipes, soups and stuffing or be breaded for cooking. All product forms can be purchased refrigerated or frozen.

The size and shape of an oyster will be influenced by the harvest location. Crowded growth conditions on natural oyster beds or cultivation practices used can determine the length, uniformity of size and depth of the shells (cup shaped or flat shaped). There are no formal or regulated size categories for whole oysters or shucked meats. Shellstock can be purchased by shell size (count) or weight per container size (bushel, bag or box). Market names are also used to describe the number of shucked meats per pound. Extra large or counts are the largest with less than 20 meats per pint followed by large or extra selects, medium or selects, and small or standards which may have up to 60 meats per pint.

Oyster color may also be influenced by harvest location and season. In general, the edible meats should appear cream to beige in color surrounded by clear liquor (natural moisture associated with the shucked oyster). Discoloration is uncommon and can be removed during processing. Rarely a shade of pink, green or black can develop after shucking. These are seasonal events related to the oyster’s diet that can include certain natural colored plankton.

Crab

WHAT IS CRAB?

There are several species of crab that are commercially important in the United States. These include King and Snow Crab caught in Alaska, Canada and Russia. Dungeness crab caught along the West coast and Alaska, and the Blue Crab caught along much of the Eastern seaboard and the Gulf of Mexico. Total commercial landings of all crab species in the U.S. over the past decade have ranged from 275 to 350 million pounds per year with an annual dockside value between 400 and 550 million dollars. Fresh and frozen whole crab, sections or legs, and frozen, pasteurized or canned crab meat is also imported into the U.S. from many different countries around the world.

FORMS OF CRAB

Most crab species are available as either live whole crabs, fresh cooked whole crabs, or frozen-cooked whole crabs, sections or single legs. Crabs can be found in the marketplace all year because of freezing and other storage techniques. Crab meat that has been picked from the shell is also a common and popular product form. Crab meat is available as refrigerated fresh, pasteurized, or frozen meat and is often packed in metal or plastic containers. The meat of various types of crabs harvested in the U.S. and many other countries around the world is also available as a canned product.

OCTOPUS

OCTOPUS

WHAT ABOUT IT?

There are more than 300 species in temperate and tropical waters throughout the world, ranging in size from a few ounces to over 100 pounds. Octopus are taken from tide pools and at depths of several hundred feet, where they inhabit small, dark crevices in the ocean floor. Primary octopus suppliers are the Philippines, Thailand and Korea. Hawaii and California are domestic sources. Octopus often are caught in unbaited “habitat traps” , into which they willingly crawl.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Octopus meat is uniquely textured - smooth, but with a firm-to-chewy “bite”. The animal’s diet of high-quality shellfish gives it a mild, sweet flavor. The edible skin is purplish-black and covers milky white meat. Cooked meat is translucent beige, sometimes with hints of deep pink. Size depends on species and region of harvest. Octopus from Spain, Portugal, Morocco and Thailand are small, averaging 14- ounces; those from Philippines are larger, graded in size of 1 to 2, 2 to 4, and 4 to 6 pounds. Korean Octopus is even larger.

COOKING TIPS

Unlike squid, octopus must be cooked a long time to become tender. Common preparations call for simmering the meat in tomato-based stews or slow, long cooking in a wine sauce. Before using in a recipe, the meat is boiled for 30 minutes to an hour to tenderize. To grill pre-cooked octopus, brush large-cut pieces with a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, crushed garlic and oregano. Grill quickly over a charcoal fire, until slightly crisp.

AN EXCERPT FROM todays culinary seascape

Globally, seafood demand is expected to triple by 2050. In the United States, health experts recommend we eat a lot more seafood. While wild-capture fisheries will continue to produce a significant percentage of our seafood, they cannot provide for the growth needed. That brings me to the theme of this issue: aquaculture-the farming of seafood-and the role chefs can play in supporting the evolution of delicious and sustainable food systems.

Aquaculture is relatively new in our culinary world, and not without controversy. But here’s the deal: we need aquaculture and I’ll argue that we should want it, too. From an environmental perspective it offers some great benefits. Sure, we can sustainably farm animals on land, but cows, chickens, pigs, etc., All fight gravity and spend energy keeping their blood warm.

All of this requires a lot of energy from the food they eat and a lot of land and fresh water to produce that food. Conversely, farming fish can be an efficient way to produce protein, and lots of it. Why? Because fish are cold blooded and they float. As we grapple with the profound question of how we are going to feed an expected population of 9 billion people, it makes good sense that we use these efficiencies and take better advantage of the 71 percentage of this planet that is water.

As championed by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, by increasing the scale of global aquaculture we can create significant economic opportunity, provide needed nutrition, and evangelize entire new populations of environmental stewards.

Let me emphasize that farming seafood is a really cool opportunity; the last time humans got to invent a food system was 10,000 years ago when we invented agriculture and planted the seeds of modern society. We are, at this moment, the architects of a new food system, and we chefs have a prominent voice when discussing how we want to build it.
