Fresh cigar minnows

The guys that catch our ballyhoo came across a small pod of cm's(very rare for the Keys) and caught 1500lbs of them.They were brined and processed the same day,not sitting in some fish hold for a few days until the ice melted.Price is 16.99 a box or 144.50 a 50lb case.They are medium size,50 to 55 per box with a couple sardines mixed in.Once they are gone it could be a while before we have more.Just wanted to give Y'all a heads up.

:yippee:

Thanks again John!
:headbang:

Good to hear.. May go on and pick up a box for spring

Thanks for the heads up John!

If it is OK to ask, are they the same Captain Salty brand you had in the past or something even better?

How big is a case? Inches wise, that is. Thinking of freezer space

If its the same brand they've had before, the boxes are 12" X 6" X 3" and ten boxes to the case. I have 8 boxes in my small freezer right now, and still had room for lots of ground deer meat.

thanks....reading my mind

Capt. Salty is a Panhandle company,these were caught by a small operation down south.They are packed plain whit boxes the same size.

thanks

sounds inviting........................... might have to drop by and pick up a box or two :yippee:

How long do they stay "fresh" being in the freezer? I still have a box of captain salty I'm wondering if they're any good this coming season or should I go ahead and eat it.
