possibly true. but if i can barely afford chicken prices (or at least
bitch about them), i'm probably not buying much seafood.
(actually, though, there's a carryout fish and crab market near me that
sells steamed spiced shrimp - don't know where the shrimp's from, but it
looks and tastes good - for eight bucks a pound on sunday and monday.
they've been willing to sell me a half-pound for four. i've been there a
few times in the last month or so. could be dinner tomorrow.)
