my favorite part of that video is the nerdy looking tall guy coming in at the end holding out his hand like he is trying to calm down a fight after it is over...to the guy who is calmly eating his chips.

Clearly for the camera.

Tubby guy at the end does same..likely for camera.

"Because where else would you expect brawls in the street over seafood but Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, over 350 miles from the ocean?"

When I was a lieutenant at Ft. Knox, KY, the commanding general was a big seafood lover. Some of the best arrays of seafood I've seen in my life were at the Ft. Knox commissary and officer's club.

True, but did you ever check out the countries of origin on the frozen stuff?

Usually from a SE Asian country.

Heck, even Alaskan fish is sent there for processing.

Of course, I picked up some frozen mussels for convenience, and they were from Argentina.

This sort of thing happens all the time in bad neighborhoods of big cities: a shrimp deal gone bad.
