Learn to Cook Lobster Like the Pros: 5 Favorite Lobster Recipes from Ready Seafood
December 17th, 2020 by Kaleigh Jurgensmeyer • Read 43,107 times • 3 min read
We recently got in an exclusive batch of 7-8 oz lobster tails — nearly twice the size of standard tails — just in time for the holidays! These are extremely rare and hard to find, making up just 1% of lobster production. XL Tails (left) come in a pack of two — that makes 14-16 oz lobster meat! We feel especially lucky to be sourcing from Ready Seafood directly so that our customers can try these extra meaty tails for themselves, even if they...

November 25th, 2020 by Kaleigh Jurgensmeyer • Read 1,399 times • 2 min read
We get it, it is the easy button to send chocolate, fruit and wine baskets to your team and clients. But quite frankly, they probably receive the same gift every year...from multiple people...and it likely goes unappreciated. This year especially, connecting with your team and customers in a personal, unique (and delicious) way is more important than ever. One way to show your appreciation is through good food. We’re here to...

From coffee and chocolate to beauty products and clothing — you’ve probably heard of Fair Trade Certified™ or may have seen their signature green and black seal on some of your favorite items — maybe even on the packaging of our Wild Caught Mexican Blue Shrimp from Del Pacifico, the first and only Fair Trade Certified wild shrimp company!

What's written on a Japanese Wagyu cattle nose print certificate?
July 14th, 2020 by Joe Heitzeberg • Read 28,328 times • 1 min read
Besides the incredible marbling and exquisite flavor profile, another thing to admire about Japanese Wagyu is the system of 100% traceability for every animal. The nose print certificates, which track every animal's lineage, place of birth and other details, are the carefully-managed centerpiece of this system. Starting in July of this year, we are offering Kobe Beef, and for the lucky few who are able to score some of this rare Wagyu, we...
Kobe Beef: Japan's Iconic Wagyu
July 2nd, 2020 by Joe Heitzeberg • Read 17,235 times • 1 min read
Kobe Beef is iconic. You could visit the Medina of Fez, a pool hall in Kiev or a village in the highlands of Papua New Guinea and ask almost anyone — and they would tell you they’ve heard of Kobe Beef. There are few things in the culinary world as highly regarded or as rare. It’s scarcity has contributed to its overall aura. Only a relatively small group of farmers and processors in Hyogo Prefecture are qualified to raise it, and each calf...

The internet’s been abuzz with a trendy steak sandwich known as the Wagyu Katsu Sando — a crunchy, panko-breaded and fried cutlet of A5 nestled between two buttery slices of toasted white bread, and topped with a tangy sauce. Popularized in Japan, this dish has made its way across Instagram and into American cuisine — rightfully celebrated for its tender, ultra-marbled, beefy middle and crispy outer layer. Only a few restaurants in the US...
How to Make Wagyu Brisket Bacon
April 8th, 2020 by Kaleigh Jurgensmeyer • Read 22,479 times • 2 min read
Bacon is universally loved. It’s the perfect combination of crispiness and chew, a literal wave of savory, salty goodness that makes it completely irresistible. While it’s usually associated with pork, BBQ aficionados are raving about the beef version — cured and smoked beef belly (navel). Another variety of beef bacon uses the brisket (what the navel connects to). Since brisket is leaner than the belly, it’s essential to have lots of...
