Blue-Skinned Silkies have been beloved for centuries in Chinese cuisine, but they remain a rare and distinctive breed in the US. This selection comes from a family farm in Upstate New York, delivering the breed's characteristically dense, meaty, and gamey flavor between its eponymous blue skin and bones. Petite, lean, and intense, these birds lend themselves exceptionally well to braising or stewing on the bone, and will yield incredible stock once all the meat has been claimed.

The Chinese name for the Silkie is wu-gu-ji – meaning black-boned. In addition to their unusual coloring, Silkies also have one more toe per foot than most chickens (five, rather than four) and expand their eccentricities all the way to the hens' demeanor. Despite not laying very many eggs themselves, Silkie Hens are known to be such exceptional, nurturing brooders that they are commonly used to hatch and raise eggs for other species.

Sourced from an organic farm in California, we use the Asian Tempest variety for our slow fermented black garlic. This strain is popularly cultivated in Korea and Southeast Asia due to its exceptionally high sugar content, which lends itself beautifully to the slow, intense caramelization process. After weeks of gentle heating in a carefully controlled environment, this organically grown garlic takes on a deep obsidian color, a soft and chewy texture, and a funky, sweet flavor. Shedding the harshness and astringency of standard fresh garlic, we’re left with syrupy richness and just enough tang to keep its garlicky spirit intact. 

Tasting like tamarinds, dates, and balsamic vinegar, black garlic is pleasant enough to eat on its own, but also works beautifully on crusty bread, blended into sauces and pastes, or as a substitute for chutney, alongside cheese and charcuterie.

These sushi-grade Blue Crystal Prawns are best enjoyed raw, with sweet and succulent meat tucked beneath deep, brilliant blue coloring caused by their diet of wild plankton.

Protected by a thousand-mile long barrier reef, these prawns are caught from the lagoons surrounding the Pacific's French New Caledonia, and are flash frozen within hours of harvest to preserve their incredible texture and flavor. In tandem with the region's temperate climate, this environment is able to nurture extensive marine life, with these prawns among the finest culinary examples.
