Please join us in celebrating Jesse Weast, our most recent Employee of the Month! 👏🔪

As Philadelphia's Processing Room Manager, Jesse consistently goes above and beyond—bringing dedication, skill, and heart to everything he does. Whether he’s stepping up to fill a gap or lending a hand wherever it’s needed, Jesse is the definition of a true team player.

Since taking the reins in the Cutting Room, Jesse has been an essential force behind the scenes. He keeps our operations running smoothly by communicating seamlessly with upper management, sales, and buyers—making sure everyone stays aligned and informed.

Hands-on and always engaged, you’ll often find Jesse with a hook or pliers in hand, leading by example and never losing sight of the big picture. He works closely with the buying team to keep the Cutting Room stocked, prepped, and primed for success.

Jesse’s proactive mindset and collaborative spirit help make Samuels a stronger, more efficient, and more successful company every day.

Thank you, Jesse, for your outstanding leadership and commitment—we’re lucky to have you! 💪🐟

Tuna season is in full swing—and the lineup is strong.
Whether you’re plating crudo, searing steaks, or building a standout special, we’ve got the cut, grade — and the species — to match:

🟡 Yellowfin – Mild, lean, and versatile—perfect for poke, tartare, or grilled dishes.
⚪ Albacore – Clean and delicate, with a softer texture and higher fat content. Great for confit or sashimi.
🔵 Wild Bluefin – Deep red, buttery, and rich. Prized for its marbling and melt-in-your-mouth texture—ideal for high-end raw applications.
👁️ Bigeye – Slightly fattier than yellowfin, with a darker, firmer flesh that holds up beautifully to heat or raw prep.

Ask your rep for availability and cut specs. Summer is always a great time to talk tuna.

🍣 From Streets to Sashimi: Just Roll’d Up Fin

🍣 From Streets to Sashimi: Just Roll’d Up Finds a Home in Pittsburgh 🏡🚚

What started as Pittsburgh’s first sushi food truck has officially found a permanent home! Longtime Samuels customer and self-taught chef Robert Foster, founder of @justrolldup, has opened a brick-and-mortar shop in East Liberty at 132 S. Highland Ave — right next door to the place that inspired it all.

While the beloved truck will still hit the streets, fans can now enjoy Foster’s bold, flavor-packed sushi rolls, burritos, and poke bowls in a sleek new space. And yes — the Tuna 2 Times bowl and Ora Madori Salmon bowl (featuring our exclusive Akaroa King Salmon 🇳🇿) made the cut. 🔥

Just Roll’d Up is a shining example of what’s possible when passion, community, and premium ingredients come together. We’re proud to supply Robert and his team with the seafood essentials that helped turn a dream into a destination.

📍 Pittsburgh food lovers — get there and roll with it.

Tomorrow is National Catfish Day, we’re shining

Tomorrow is National Catfish Day, we’re shining the spotlight on a fish that’s not only delicious and versatile, but also critical to saving the Bay:
🐟 Wild Blue Catfish from the Chesapeake.

✅ Mild, clean flavor
✅ Firm, flaky texture
✅ Perfect for frying, grilling, blackening, or stews

But here’s the real catch:
Blue Catfish are invasive in the Chesapeake Bay. By eating more of them, we’re helping to restore balance to the ecosystem, protect native species, and support local watermen.

🧑‍🍳 Whether you're a chef, a retailer, or just a fish-lover at home — this is your call to eat with impact.

📍 Available now at Samuels Seafood & Giuseppe’s Market

Let’s eat our way to a healthier Chesapeake. 🌊
