Fresh off the boat! 🌊

Captain Russ Neckin just brought in this stunning Yellow Edge Grouper on the F/V Rachel J. Belle out of Cortez, Florida. Hook & line caught in deep water, this is widely considered one of the absolute best-tasting members of the grouper family.

💡 Fun Fact: They get their name from the bright, electric-yellow trim on their fins, and they actually hang out on deep, flat sand and clay bottoms rather than standard shallow reefs!
🐟 Flavor Profile: Mild, sweet, and incredibly clean with massive, bright white flakes that hold their moisture beautifully.
🍽️ Application: Because it’s so firm, it is incredibly forgiving on the line. It handles pan-searing with a rich brown butter sauce or a hot grill beautifully without drying out.

Snag this Gulf beauty for your weekend specials before it’s gone! 📲

Nothing beats a day out on the water—especially when it connects our incredible customers with the hands-on hard work that brings local, beautiful, and delicious seafood to their kitchens. 🌊🦪

On Wednesday, June 10th, we took a group of customers behind the scenes for an immersive tour of Fallen Pine Oyster Company ( ) and Baywater Seafood ( ) , complete with a wonderful boat ride transfer in between! It was an unmatched opportunity to see the incredible dedication, passion, and daily grit required to harvest some of our absolute favorite oysters and bay scallops up close.

A massive thank you to our phenomenal hosts, Dan & Crew, Claire, and Matt, for opening your doors, sharing your knowledge, and giving us such an educational, unforgettable experience.

Also, a big thank you to the wonderful customers who took the time to spend the day with us. We are deeply committed to strengthening the connections between our partners and our chefs—this day was a perfect reflection of that, and we can’t wait to host more of these trips in the future.
