Less prep. More time on the line.

From intake and cleaning to trimming and portioning, our team can handle the steps you don’t need in your kitchen—so what arrives is closer to what you actually need for the finished dish.

We do the prep on our end, so your team can focus on service.

A salmon filet’s journey from the water to your kitchen has a lot to do with how it performs on the plate.

🐟 Pre-cut fillets are cut at the farm and shipped ready to use. They’re typically more economical because you’re not paying freight on the head, bones, and trim. For many applications, they’re an excellent value.

🔪 Hand-cut fillets, on the other hand, stay intact during transport and aren’t cut until just hours before delivery. That means the flesh spends far less time exposed to air, helping it stay firmer, fresher, and less prone to gaping. The whole fish also protects the fillets from being compressed during shipping.

Neither option is “right” for every kitchen. It comes down to the application.

If you’re serving beautiful center-of-the-plate portions or showcasing raw fish, the quality difference is noticeable. If the salmon is being flaked, cooked into a dish, or used where appearance is less critical, a pre-cut fillet may be the smarter value.

Our job isn’t to sell you the most expensive product.

It’s to help you choose the right product for your menu.

A “dry” scallop is typically shucked and packed without chemical treatment. But not every scallop marketed as “dry” is created equal. Some are briefly dipped in sodium tripolyphosphate (STP), a solution that helps the scallop retain water.

The result? More moisture released in the pan and a sear that never quite lives up to expectations.
That’s why we obsess over sourcing and grading. In seafood, you have to look beyond the label to understand how a product will actually perform in the kitchen. When your reputation depends on every plate leaving the pass perfectly, those details matter.

At LP Seafood & Specialty, our job isn’t just delivering seafood. It’s being the partner you trust to sweat the details.

Tuna availability is strong and steady right now, and our team is making every cut count.

At LP Seafood & Specialty, each fish is carefully graded, handled, and cut to chef specifications with accuracy, consistency, and respect for the product. From whole fish to custom loins, we help NYC chefs get the quality they need, exactly how they need it.

Because with tuna, it’s not just about supply it’s about trust, technique, and ex*****on.

Not all tuna is created equal.

Before a single loin ever reaches a chef’s cutting board, every fish we buy goes through a rigorous grading process at LP Seafood & Specialty. Tail cuts. Core samples. Color evaluation. Fat content. Flesh consistency.If it doesn’t meet our standards for sushi quality, it doesn’t make the cut. Period.

That discipline starts with trusted fishermen and sourcing partners around the world and continues with meticulous cold chain management and full lot traceability back to the individual fish. Because precision, transparency, and consistency matter when quality is non-negotiable.

This is what “premium” actually looks like behind the scenes.

Market notes for the week 📑

Halibut is tight and pricing is high, so plan ahead on menus.

Salmon remains limited and in high demand, while tuna availability is in a good place.

Lobster supply is looking favorable right now, with pricing still on the lower side.

Soft shells are between runs, so expect lighter availability until the weekend. Wild striped bass landings have picked up, and tray-packed frozen stone crab is available now that the season has ended.

Chefs, here’s what’s moving this week 🌊

Lobster is in a strong position with pricing still on the lower side, making it a smart feature for Mother’s Day menus and seasonal specials.

Tuna supply is also strong right now, giving chefs a reliable option for crudo, sashimi, tartare, and high-volume raw applications.

Soft shell season is in full swing, while halibut and salmon remain tight and require more planning. Stone crab season has ended, but we still have frozen, tray-packed stone crab available while inventory lasts.

Copper River wild salmon is expected to open for fishing on May 22, with limited availability at the start.
