Because of long supply chains, even the best supermarket seafood is less than fresh. Enter North Coast Seafoods, a specialty distributor that sells the freshest seafood imaginable. Not all of their products are available on their site direct to consumer. Many things are reserved for restaurants. The products we are carrying are from their restaurant reserves, giving Milk Street a certain exclusivity on the retail market. Their succulent Chilean Sea Bass are caught on at a time by longline fisherman in the icy waters of Antarctica and then immediately frozen aboard the boat for peak freshness and flavor. The fish is buttery and silky, high in Omega 3’s and is ideal for baking and grilling because of its high oil content—it’s a particularly forgiving choice, as it’s harder to overcook. It’s white and firm, but will delicately flake when cooked and yields a slightly sweet flavor. Oftentimes, so-called “bass” in grocery stores is renamed to sell better, but quality and authenticity is always guaranteed with North Coast.

Individually hand-shucked and flash-frozen within minutes of harvest, North Coast's Jumbo Scallops are true to their name: big and meaty, with a sweet, clean flavor. Most scallops are wet-packed—that is, injected with water and phosphates for preservation and size—so they tend to be mushy when thawed and release too much liquid for a proper sear. North Coast's dry-packing method ensures a tender yet springy texture. MUST ORDER MINIMUM OF 2 POUNDS (ANY COMBINATION OF SEAFOOD).
