Featured Items
- Sterling White Sturgeon Caviar$65.00+
- Adamas Siberian Caviar$75.00+
Location: Pandino in Lombardy, Italy south of Milan How it tastes: The beads are emerald in color and consistent in shape with a beautiful individual pop when pressed on the roof on your mouth. The flavor is well-balanced with a kiss of mushroom, delicate sea salt and a clothbound cheddar cheese goodness on the finish (just trust us with this one...). The caviar is refined (like the Italians who make it!) and we are obsessed with its fresh butter finish that makes us want to eat it straight out of the tin! Why it's unique: This region is the one of the best for caviar production in Europe due to the pristine water sources coming from the Alps and natural aquifers. On another note, we hear this is Mariah Carey’s favorite caviar. Just saying... 30g: Serves 2-4 people 100g: Serves 8-10 people 250g: Serves 15-20 people
- Sweet Reaper Hot Sauce$13.00
Sweet Reaper hot sauce - this is it, folks. What you've been waiting for. A hot sauce made by a consummate chef (and our friend, Nate Gould) that is balanced, feisty and totally unique. Technically speaking, Sweet Reaper is a balance of heat and fruity pepper sweetness. It is slowly cooked down with white vinegar, sweet onion, garlic, and spices. We have found that it's earthy flavors go perfectly with brine, and you know, pretty much everything else.

Oysters
- Island Creek$1.75
$1.75/ea Farmer: Skip Bennett Location: Duxbury Bay, MA, CCB45MA Size: 2.5" - 3" on average How they taste: The quintessential East Coast oyster experience. With a highly segmented flavor profile, strong salinity up front gives way to vegetal, buttery richness and a long sweet finish. It doesn't get any better than this. These complex flavors are attributed to a life spent on the ocean floor, dug into the mineral rich mud of Duxbury Bay.

- Güeyu Mar Chargrilled Razor Clams$29.00
Chef: Abel Alvarez Where it's from: Southern Spain Why it’s unique: Where a traditional cannery would steam the fish before packing, Güeyu Mar cooks their fish over a brasa, or wood and charcoal burning grill, using the embers to impart a graceful smokiness that balances fruity sweetness from the olive oil it’s packed in. The process of grilling the fish protects it from absorbing too much of the oil, so you always taste fish first, oil second. Ingredients: Razor clams, extra virgin olive oil, salt How it tastes: The long, slender shape of their shell gives razor clams a unique texture and taste similar to octopus! Cooked over birch, beech and oak, they pair a mild sweetness with a little kiss of smokiness. How to use it: If you want to feel truly Spanish, try a simplistic preparation with olive oil, garlic and lemon, and serve with crusty bread and a crisp glass of white wine (or two)!

Frozen Seafood
- Frozen Maine Lobster 1/2 lb$40.00
Community Shellfish uses the best practices out there and their lobster shows it. When it comes off the boat in Bremen, it stays in town and is immediately cooked in artesian well water. No sitting in freshwater for days removing it's merroir. No delay from harvest, to cooking, to shucking. Then it gets flash frozen on-site. That's really cold, and it keeps all the freshness sealed up inside the package which is vacuum-sealed. The resulting lobster is moist and full of flavor. We can get fresh lobster where we live, but even for us, it's an event. And sometimes that's not what we have the energy for. We keep a couple of packages in the freezer and pull it out whenever the mood strikes us and make easy delicious lobster rolls, lobster with butter over polenta, you name it. Lobster mac and cheese. (It's a thing for a reason, folks). As you can see from the pictures, this is a great range of tail, knuckle and claw and it is a substantial portion. It has taken us years to crack the lobster

They pair well with almost any other food and are incredibly versatile to cook - pan-fried, broiled, grilled, you name it. These sashimi-grade sea scallops are a low-fat source of protein and B vitamins. And because they come frozen, you can cook them when it works for you.
