Shame Grade

Eh large Upcountry supermarket: My mission for New Year's Day was to get a sashimi platter; you're out. My option was to buy one of the three "sashimi grade ahi block" you have left at $21.99/lb. Lettuce shaved, ahi cut, wasabi made…and no one eats it. Flavor and texture are crap. I was so pissed I called the seafood department that eve, and asked if it was previously frozen—and you admitted it! No one sells defrosted ahi as "sashimi grade," and at that price. Last time you rip off this local—we're done!

no go Foodland !- go Puk Sup or Mana's where they get REAL Fresh Ahi.
Foodland & Safeway lies and sells frozen (chemically treated) fish as "FRESH"- even their poke is li dat!

Be careful with your fish
over priced and flavorless

....It's crowded even in what these people consider to be country, but the fish is generally fresh, and all I can eat. That big fat steak on the grill would be nice every once in a while ..
