They don't open til 11-ish and so the labeling of the prices sometimes lags - they're back there fileting , etc. My husband hates to deal with them but I always find them very helpful, so I give myself karmic backpats.<BR/><BR/>The main thing is that dealing with locals, where the shop has a few of this and few of that every day, you can be fairly sure you aren't dealing with the factory boats that cause the big damage. In some sense, you're supporting the local (farmer/fisherman).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-493144429387237025.post-29828656321205490352009-01-24T21:02:00.000-05:002009-01-24T21:02:00.000-05:00That's the shopping guide I use and I find it frus...That's the shopping guide I use and I find it frustrating that I when I can a fish that's on the best choices list I usually can't get information on how it's been caught. <BR/><BR/>I've been in Mariner Seafood--I work at UM so it's a lunch-break bike-ride away--but I was turned off by the lack of labeled prices on any of the fish and surly service. But if you recommend them I'll take another look.billjachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09260406336065905545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-493144429387237025.post-19039532576287718312009-01-24T20:18:00.000-05:002009-01-24T20:18:00.000-05:00I'm a big fan of kale chips too, maybe that's what...I'm a big fan of kale chips too, maybe that's what I'll do with the bit I have left in the crisperkathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10462007067131792229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-493144429387237025.post-59572902051731032822009-01-24T17:32:00.000-05:002009-01-24T17:32:00.000-05:00If you don't do Whole Foods, which has an extensiv...If you don't do Whole Foods, which has an extensive but expensive seafood selection then, using the list at http://www.montereybayaquarium.org/cr/SeafoodWatch/web/sfw_regional.aspx?region_id=5<BR/>as a shopping guide, there are a lot of good places to get local snappers, dolphin(fish), king fish, tuna, etc. including many fish that are so local they aren't on any list (but no local salmon). <BR/><BR/>In South Miami there's Mariner Seafood on Red Rd, and further south in a warehouse area is a new place - Bone Island Fish Market at 19200 SW 106 Ave #10 - with great prices and selection. And for just-off-the-boat-today fresh there's the Fish Market in Key Largo, though it's not unfortunately on the daily commute.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
