Last two times I bought fresh fish from WF...I returned it b/c it was NOT fresh.
I don’t mind paying *more* for meat and fish...if the quality is there. Never did, never will.
But I’m giving up on their fish dept.

My city has a large Vietnamese population and their markets have the freshest and cheapest fish in the city.. I think their supplier(s) are relatives that commercial fish.

In So Cal there is an Asian chain called 99 market. The one in Chino Hills draws in the Diamond Bar and surrounding Asian contingent. Very fresh seafood, as in live tanks of Lobster, catfish, Talapia. Multile tanks of muscles and clams. Great place to shop for that seafood linguine dinner. Just the produce section can keep you entertained for an hour looking at all the oddball fruits and veggies that you have never seen before.
We buy our fish and shrimp from a great Vietnamese fish market too. Owner is a great guy, very pro American and his whole family works in his shop. Fountain View Fish Market for any of you in Houston.
