Next week we get black bass, pacific cod and lingcod, then we'll have 3 months of various varieties of salmon before some non-salmon and shellfish.

I just started looking at this thread and have only made it this far; apologies in advance if this has already been discussed. There is also Hooked on Fish Chicago. I think orders come in once a week and you pick them up from a designated porch near you. I don't know how many locations there are in the city and the suburbs. A friend has been doing this and is very happy with it so far. (And Fresh Farms has an overwhelming seafood selection!)
