Fresh fish
 

another place to buy fresh fish at reasonable prices is Harris-Teeter. this is a relatively local chain, but i presume they are in other parts of the country trading under a different name. the fresh sword fish is usually 11 a lb, the fresh tuna 15. if one joins the fresh catch club, there is a $5.00 rebate on each accumulation of $50.

Isn't swordfish one of the varieties of fish that has a very high mercury concentration?

My son and husband were both stricken http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/QAA40063...-Bad-Fish.html
Beware, particularly of Yellowtail. Fortunately, they responded well to Benadryl. My son and husband ate a Salad Nicoise made with "fresh tuna" at a very well-respected restaurant. Within minutes, they were sick.

Dr Weil was my high school buddy many years ago. ^

I only buy fish from Whole Foods and will most likely never purchase swordfish again after talking with a friend who used to work on a fish dock when he was in high school.

The illness described is Scombroid Poisoning Buying your Yellowtail fish at Whole Foods will not protect you. The histamines which invade this fish flesh occur at the time the fish is caught and then not cooled quickly. By the time it reaches WF and enters the case, the die has been cast

Nope, not referring to an illness. I apologize in advance if this creeps anyone out, but I don't purchase swordfish, anywhere, because my friend said they would pull worms out of them when freshly caught. I know, I know, they're perfectly safe to eat (the fish I mean) but I simply choose not to. "There are plenty other fish in the sea." that may or may not have worms too...:eek:

Fresh fish?

Catch it yourself.
Freshest I've had is either Rainbow trout straight from the stream...
Cleaned it on the bank, and fried it in a little saved bacon fat.

Or the Yellowtail tuna sashimi... On an overnight fishing boat out of San Diego. As the deckhand cleaned and filleted our catch, he'd flip slices to us. There is the reason for wasabi in the tube!

I just drive over to Half Moon Bay and buy off the decks of the fishing boats. Get some really great deals on crab.

sword frequently has worms. i do not think they are pulled, as they tend to be tiny, and hard to pull. they tend to be white, and close to invisible to the human eye. i think worms are common in many fish(cod,pollock, ).

beef and other red meats have worm problems.
eat tofu. no worms.

I've got a similar situation as Doc- a good local fishery that leaves me feeling like there's never a need to buy fish from a grocery store.

Just phytoestrogens. Enjoy the breast enhancement, guys...:D

I'm juts finding that place :(

I second this.

Thanks to "health regulations" fresh fish in the US isn't really fresh unless it's illegal.

Taste the freshness....

Deep frozen tuna and salmon can be purchased at Whole Foods. It's about $10 for 8oz of fish. Fairly pricey.
