Local means something because it usually gets to the store faster.
I still think it is fishy that a grocery store is selling rockfish for $12.99 and costco has it for $5.99.
Costco’s product says Fresh but I struggle to see how Costco can get that much fresh fish.
anyway I’m sorry for creating the idea that Costco and the supermarket are selling the exact same product :-) at Costco it’s called Rockfish filets. The supermarket used different terms, like Ling Cod or other words. They might resemble each other to my amateur eye and I believe they’re both different. Since I’m just using them for cooking, they probably taste the same because it’s just olive oil and sautéing and white cooking wine, then consumed with other toppings. It’s not like they’re being consumed on their own :-)
