In our little neighborhood in Queens, there was a fish store that was only open on Fridays.

They sold raw fish or if you liked, the Italian lady who spoke no english would bread and fry the flounder and give you a bag of fried potatoes with it. Yummm....

Fish on Friday. We hear a lot nowdays about eating more fish for our health. Perhaps it would be a good idea for many of us to eat fish once a week, for our physical as well as our spiritual health.

Lol!!! I once met an Italian lady who could not pronounce the word "shrimp". It always came out "skrimp". I'll never forget the one Easter when she went to local butch(er) (she always stopped after the butch) and ordered 'baby lamb' for Easter dinner. When she went to pick it up, he handed her a nice young leg of lamb. She handed it back, saying: " This is the great grandfather of the lamb I ordered.".

I also grew up in Queens ... which part of Queens had this fish market?
