A fishy question
Dear James and Alisa,
I read your whole year of blogs, and I couldn't get enough of every page. I have been able to locate plenty of local foods, but I am having the worst time trying to find local fish. How did you find fish?
Dear Holly,
I'm not sure where you are writing from, but in Vancouver, fish isn't too hard to find. We just had to do a lot of asking at fish shops to find out what was local--eventually we found salmon, sardines, clams, mussels, crab, oysters and more. Eventually, we found one fisherman who fishes the waters just offshore of Vancouver and we now buy almost everything from him.
Of course, you can always buy a cheap fishing rod...
Best,
James
Alisa adds: I have been to Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Minnesota where in winter people go ice fishing--fresh fish year round! I have seen frozen local fish for sale at farmers markets too.
