Fresh, frozen, and the catch
Seafood gets quoted fresh or frozen and compared per pound. Fresh moves with the catch, the season and the grade, so it can jump week to week; plenty of NYC kitchens lean on frozen-at-sea for staples and save fresh for the features.
It's held pretty steady across the year.
Keeping your food cost in range
Most NYC kitchens run a food cost of 28–35% of menu price. Track the per-pound cost on your top cuts and price the menu against it — that's the simplest way to hold margin as wholesale rates move.
Spec the ounce size (e.g. 4 oz, 6 oz, 8 oz) so plate cost and presentation stay consistent. Cold-water tails cost more but firm up better; thaw slowly in the cooler and reject any tail with an ammonia smell.
