;-) The guy at the fish counter speaks no english other than a few common
names for some of the fish types. Fortunately he knows most of the more
common asian names for the fish types too so we do well enough. I dont have

Probably cheaper at the Asian store and the money stays with local shop
keepers too. They are generally owned and operated by 1st or second
generation Americans who have their citizenship after legally moving here.
