And in retrospect we are talking a land locked state that probably flies in its seafood and this was a holiday Monday so I would doubt they had a deliverly on Sunday and the holiday Monday. The fish likely was delivered on Friday or Saturday.
I just had in my mind a higher standard given the *** and the cost so it disappointed me at the time.
My thought is if you cannot get the ingredients to do it right, don't serve the meal. A *** restaurant does not have to serve the same menu every day of the year if there is trouble getting certain ingredients at certain times. The guest should not have to compromise on taste because the kitchen is short of fresh fish.
