 CS> Probably.  Also, I'm not sure just how close to the water she is.  I

 CS> she's mentioned the fish there isnt all that great.

We're about 20 miles from the ocean, with the Intracoastal Waterway
between us and the ocean.  The fishing/shrimping industry here has taken
a big hit from having so much imported and farm raised stuff available
at a much lower price.  It's hard to find local stuff but it is
available.  Some of the seafood we've had lately has not been of the
same quality as what we got when we first got here.  Don't know if it's
the season, the use of more imported/farm raised or what.  Uncle Bubba's
still has really good fish/seafood.  We took Rachel and kids there
there.


 CS> Could be it's not much of a fishing industry area?  That or the shops
 CS> she goes to just don't have as good of a selection.  The best here in
 CS> the very near area would be either Harri$ Teeter$ or my asian market.
 CS> Of them, I like the Asian market better for price and quality but they

 CS> varies quite widely so best to go there with an open mind to select
 CS> what they have at the time (normally 15 or so different things, some
 CS> prefrozen but good quality).

It's probably a combination of things.  But, it's a moot point now a
we're not fish shopping here any more.


 CS> I've been known to bring my fish books with me sometimes there so I
 CS> can see what some of them are.  I may for example 'know a fish' but
 CS> not be sure of the name for it.

Or you mayknow one name for it but if the fish monger knows it by a
different name.....................


 CS> I'll probably drop by on the way back from my Chiro appointment

Sounds good to me.  I saw your note about not adapting to brown rice.
Gotta give you credit for making an honest effort to try it.  And, you
did find it worked well in some things.  But, to get your family to
acept it, you probably should have started using it 15 years ago. (G)
