FISH EXPERT OF THE WEEK: Chef Anthony Dattolico

Chef Anthony Dattolico comes from a long line of culinary experts. Before beginning his career with FultonFishMarket.com, he graduated from the Culinary Institute of America in August of 1999. He quickly progressed from Sous Chef to his first position as Executive Chef in 2002 at the Reebok Club in New York City. He honed his skills as an Executive Chef for 11 years before coming onboard with FultonFishMarket.com in 2014.

Just over a year ago, the company launched it’s direct to consumer business. Rather than buy seafood and sell from inventory, the company selects the best of the best from the many wholesalers at the Fulton Fish Market, the largest seafood market in America.

At Fulton Fish Market - every midnight a couple of million pounds of fresh seafood come across the docks. FultonFishMarket.com seafood mongers, the most experienced in the business, select only the freshest, most beautiful seafood to fulfill the online consumer orders.

Last week we gave our take on the July 10th New York Post article which covered Larry Olmsted’s book entitled Real Food, Fake Food, and how fraudulent seafood was stealing from us the joy of great tasting fresh seafood.

This week we want to dig just a bit deeper into why so much food in general, and seafood specifically, is fake. It has a great deal to do with the desire of the food industry to deliver inexpensive food to our shelves.
