Seasonal product news  28/07/2010

There's plenty of good fish in season at the moment including seatrout, crab, lobster, cornish sardines, hake, plaice and turbot.
On the speciality side, we're still selling lots of samphire grass....also some stunning Sonata strawberries, raspberries, redcurrants and blackcurrants from Rectory Farm in Oxfordshire which are going down a treat. 

We've also been getting some spanking deals on girolles and our very own New Wave mixed wild and cultivated mushrooms..

Fresh fish market report
30/07/2010

Weather's been great and as a result the fishing has been good, with good catches of most species in the last couple of days. From Cornwall tonight we have brill, turbot, whiting, plaice, haddock and some cracking sardines and lemons all off dayboats.
Big Hake is the bargain of the week, coming in as jumbo fish at really keen prices

New Wave at Thyme cookery school

Oz Harbor, one of our principal filleters and account manager teamed up with Bob Parkinson of 'Made by Bob'  for his fish cookery class at the newly opened Thyme at Southrop. Bob cooked a fabulous array of seafood for the class including red mullet, bass, oysters and scallops.Oz has been responsible for training many of the up-and-coming New Wave filleters. At New Wave, we are dedicated to preparing fish properly and treating the product with the respect it deserves.

New Wave at Le Manoir

Gary Jones looks on as Oz fillets a whole cod at Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons back in November. We spent the afternoon there, demonstrating how we fillet certain species, and providing training for some of their junior staff. A good day was had by all.

New Wave...new Italian range

New Wave 20th anniversary party

A night at Rungis in Paris is such an eye-opener. 15,000 people work there every night. You can eat a shellfish platter at midnight and then go and choose your produce.You'd be lucky to fit it all in within 6 hours and then you have to slog it back to the ferry. We've done many trips there, but have now set up with a superb mushroom wholesaler and a great poultry supplier.
The fish-hall  is also first class, when we go we pick up Fin de Clare oysters, sardines and anchovies and various seafood delicatessen products such as brown shrimp .
We also have a regular fish and shellfish supplier on Rungis who can give us a daily delivery.

News about Oysters in the press

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/environment/article7114086.ece

Water companies are being blamed for discharging sewage into areas where Oysters are being harvested. This is causing much higher outbreaks of the norovirus than usual. The solution is guaranteed norovirus-free oysters, which we supply to Gary Jones of Le Manoir through Steve Kestin of Cornish Assured Oysters in Cornwall.
