here in dc, fish at balducci (say toothfish) is $2-2.50 an oz. the same fish from the same purveyor, delivered the same day(same batch, same truck) and of the same quality is 0.90-0.75 an oz at H-mart, and a buck an oz at harris teeter. the bearing of the market also has to do with the marketing and the clientele.and the service is a lot better at h-mart.
