IQF quota and seasonal Closures
Seasonal/availability: Available year round. Tightens up in Mexican closure closure-Feb-April, because Mexico is large supplier of snapper. With IFQs-there is no “SEASONALITY” in the local GULF WATERS as we have moved to a QUOTA system.
Flavor Profile: Menu standard, sweet, mild, flaky, medium firm meat, edible skin (HAVE TO ASK IF WANT SKIN OFF). Usually sold skin on to cook with skin and to identify fish. Must ask to SCALE on sales order. And when they portion-skin on or skin off.
