A seafood market just opened in my town. I stopped in yesterday to check it out.
They claim they get fresh deliveries every other day, yesterday apparently was the second day. Very little selection. 1 piece of red snapper, 1 piece grouper, about 1 dozen cherrystones (a couple already dead), etc.
It would be nice to get fresh seafood but we're so far from the ocean this stuff has to be at least a few days old.
It's also very pricey, if course. $21-29 a pound for most items. I don't think they'll make it here, folks around here are too "frugal" to spend that kind of dough.
Around here, Capt D's is considered good seafood!

That's sad.

It was that way here until less than a decade ago. It was well into this century that IQF from the grocery store was far and away the best option for seafood. One couldn't even really get local commercial freshwater fish.
