That would seem to be a good idea. OTOH, we eat a lot of raw fish here
in the form of poke. These days, we have a choice of buying fresh poke
or previously frozen poke. The fresh stuff is sold at a premium - $13 to
$18/lb and the PF poke goes for around 25% less. I always buy the PF
poke, not for safety reasons but because I'm cheap!

New years in Hawaii means that the demand for sashimi grade ahi goes sky
high. This year the prices in the stores will probably run around $22
for a pound. That's not bad for this time of year. Evidently, the new
years ahi haul has been good. Much thanks for the sashimi gods!
