Seasonal Buying tips:
When you go shopping, be sure to only ask for species that are in season that month.
If they don’t have it, the fish buyer at your grocery store or fish market should be able to find what you’re asking for by contacting a local seafood wholesaler.
Avoid asking for fish that’s not in season - if you do, fish buyers may buy farmed or imported species to fulfill your request.
