We are pretty spoiled. The stuff is not cheap. FL lobster season just started...

They do sell a little beef.

Damn, that's an awesome selection of vibrant fish. The stuff we get here in CO looks old and usually smells the same. That Yellow Tail looks damn near sushi grade, we have to go to Whole Foods to get anything that even looks half as good!
 
Re: My Local Seafood Store (Don't Look!)

Yeah, but you guys have the PRIME US Beef. I can't even buy a bone-in sirloin anymore. That's a crying shame.
 
Re: My Local Seafood Store (Don't Look!)

funny looks like the seafood department at my local HEB
 
Re: My Local Seafood Store (Don't Look!)

Here's a different angle. Closest to us is grouper, snapper, and dolphin. Some people call it mahi-mahi, dolphin isn't the mammal.

Fried grouper, cole slaw, hush puppies, cheese grits.

Rare tuna seared in sesame oil, white rice with Asian vegetables.

Scampi.

Conch chowder.

Broiled, split tails with clarified butter, baked Idaho potato.

Citrus snapper.

I live in the people's republic of MA. I get most of that all the time. The only good thing about living here. Just made a boulabaise (seafood stew) tonight. Mussels, clams (hard shell), shrimp, Pacific cod, potatoes and onions, garlic, pepper, tomato paste and water. Great with some apothic red wine. Delicious..........
 
Re: My Local Seafood Store (Don't Look!)

First thing I noticed is that Salmon is the only one cheaper than gunpowder...
 
Re: My Local Seafood Store (Don't Look!)

I didn't realize how much Ahi costs on the mainland, I won't bitch any more.

Love me some seared tuna. Big fat marinated piece rolled in sesame seeds. YUMMMM!!!
 
Re: My Local Seafood Store (Don't Look!)

Thats great the tuna in sesame seeds sounds great
 
Re: My Local Seafood Store (Don't Look!)

Just get a kinda round burrito sized pieces soad them in a marinade for the day, roll them in sesame seeds and roll it on a REAL hot plate on the stove top. Gets all nice and brown on the outside cooks about a quarter of an inch deep at most. I am hungry.
 
Re: My Local Seafood Store (Don't Look!)

That's a great selection! Occasionally, we get some fresh fish out here in the Northwest Arizona boonies, but it was sure a lot easier to get it when we lived back in Upstate New York.
 
Re: My Local Seafood Store (Don't Look!)

Looking at those prices makes me glad I have never paid for it. I have paid allot more then that to catch it more then a few times though.

I love it. The cold keeps most of the Idiots out.

Seeing as Winnipeg Mb is essentially the center of the continent, that is a beautiful sight. Especially considering my Hongcouver upbringing. Going down to the docks, and purchasing your dinner right off the boat was great. Drive home a few blocks away, and 'grits is on'.

Now, if it ain't "flash-frozen" then it ain't fresh. I'm just so thankful that my Lady decided to partake in fishing this past few months. We're almost finished outfitting the "Moose-Barge" and we'll be out there.

About this "Conch chowder" now, sounds interesting. All I know about Conch's is if you blow in one, they make a sound.

But those ingredients in the pictures.... wow. I could sure work with ALL of them.
 
Re: My Local Seafood Store (Don't Look!)

That is very good looking fish.I am spoiled though I live under five minutes from the Pacific tuna right now is about 2.50 a pound and I fish for salmon in town from a public dock when I have time which is not very often.

Crab clams and mussles cost 7.00 for a tag for one year and a little gas and time.
That is some of the best looking Ive seen in a market though.
 
Re: My Local Seafood Store (Don't Look!)

Nice. Our seafood display here around Hooterville looks more like the back room at Long John Silvers. I'm jealous.
 
Re: My Local Seafood Store (Don't Look!)

I live in the southern part of Puget sound...you would think that we would have stores like that all over the place, but unfortunately, that isn't the case. I have to drive 5 miles to even find a seafood store, and there are only three within 25 miles that are worth driving too.

I do have one goodie locally though...an oyster farm about 3 miles from my door. The last time I went there, they didn't have any yearling oysters shucked yet, but told me to wait 15 minutes, and I could get a fresh jar freshly shucked. Damn those were good!
 
Re: My Local Seafood Store (Don't Look!)

you MFrs need to check out the Dekalb Farmers Market next time you are passing through Atlanta.
More live & imported seafood than you can count.
It won't let me post a picture, but here's the link.

We just picked up about 4 lbs of Dungeness crab, live, for about $10/lb.
I just wish I lived closer.
I'm in Marietta so it's a half day event to go about once a month.
 
Re: My Local Seafood Store (Don't Look!)

Bleh.... Seafood.




Where's the beef!
 
Re: My Local Seafood Store (Don't Look!)

Dungeness crab runs about $5.99 to $6.99 at a good sale up here. I usually try and get about three large ones. That takes me about 45 minutes to crack and clean all three, and is enough crab meat to last me about 36 hours.

I have an old dog who is nearly toothless, and he loves crab because it is one of those things he doesn't have trouble chewing. Now, whenever I show with crab in a bag, the dog can obviously smell it, and he calmly sits nearby drooling until I'm done, and of course my old friend gets some too.
