"A major seafood supplier that provides nearly half the city's seafood, whose CEO Nicole Ackerina argues the plan will shift truck traffic to low-income neighborhoods: “The program doesn’t eliminate truck traffic — it shifts it from Manhattan to Environmental Justice areas like the South Bronx.” Ackerina calls the timing particularly cruel for an industry rebounding from the COVID pandemic and says the program is “a cash grab by the MTA, with limited environmental benefits. It will directly impact retailers, restaurants, and the tourism industry,” adding, “No one in the food world supports this.”" - Melissa McCart
"The online arm of the iconic New York market is prized by chefs for high-grade seafood; recommended items include sushi-grade yellowfin tuna (versatile raw or cooked with a pleasant fattiness), uncooked 21/25 shrimp for keeping on hand, and cooked octopus tentacles from Portugal that make starting to cook octopus at home much easier since the head is removed. The service offers free shipping on orders over $125, does not ship to Hawaii or Alaska, and allows customers to choose their delivery date at checkout." - Nikita Richardson
"The Fulton Fish Market—a wholesale seafood market that has been in NYC for two centuries—has a new startup called FultonFishMarket.com that allows restaurants and individuals from all over the country to buy its fish, which is shipped fresh rather than pre-frozen." - Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya
