Seared Mahi Mahi Fillets with Vegetables and Sauce
Health experts agree that the benefits of fish as a protein source rise above. But with some fish, especially large fish, customers have to weigh those benefits against risks like mercury. The common understanding is that the larger the ocean fish, the more likely it is to be contaminated. Pregnant women and young children are advised to avoid several large varieties, including Swordfish, King mackerel, Tilefish, Bigeye tuna and Marlin because of potentially harmful amounts of mercury.

There is no day on the calendar better suited to aphrodisiac foods than Valentine’s Day. And one of the most notorious foods rumored to help people get in the mood is fresh, raw oysters.

Live Crabs Being Dumped into Shipping Container
Dungeness crab continues its comeback in the Bay Area and beyond, after a dismal year in 2015 and less than phenomenal conditions since. Crab season got underway last month with only one small hiccup. Harmful demoic acid levels delayed the start of commercial Dungeness fishing north of Bodega Head State Marine Reserve to the Sonoma/Mendocino county line. But the California Department of Fish and Wildlife ruled everything south of Bodega Head safe and healthy. That has fishermen optimistic about a productive season and local seafood markets celebrating as well. Customers come clamoring for crab in November, December, and January as a favorite way to help ring in the holidays.

November is a time of gratitude, family, shorter days and holiday cheer. But it’s also the height of election season, which comes with a whole lot of political angst. This year Pucci Foods was following one battle closely. While it’s not tied to a particular proposition or candidate, it hits very close to home. We’re talking about federal plans to expand offshore oil drilling along the California coast, and Governor Jerry Brown’s attempts to make sure this never happens.
