That sounds really good!
On the, Give me fresh fish or give me death
Yep. I used to be there, too. And certainly nothing farmed overseas. Then I started noticing where some of the fish at the nearest "real store" to me, Giant Eagle, was labeling some of the fish in their cooler as "previously frozen".
Hmm...
And show me a store that sells crab legs that haven't been frozen. Maybe in AK. Maybe other places, too. But not in my neck of the woods. Heck, even those walleye and perch I had the other night were frozen. Fresh caught by my buddy, but then frozen.
I've learned to adapt to certain things.
But I'm always envious of coastal towns/cities where fresh fish is always available. I'd be in heaven.
And I haven't shopped in there since 2020 anyway. But I do miss stuff like fresh mussels and good cheese.
