If there is anything positive about the centuries of deprivation that the Korean people suffered, it's that they learned everything there was to learn about gleaning the treasures of the sea, and now they're here to share that knowledge with the rest of us. I've even seen live abalone for sale there, though having been brought up in the waterless wilds of the Midwest, I wouldn't have a clue was to do with it. Hard to beat Super H Mart.

Thanks for the other suggestions, too! Have to remember Sawicki's, especially!

In general, not just for fish, Sawicki's has saved me many times when I've had last minute needs for quality food for a dinner I'm hosting or a potluck event. And it's my go-to place for fresh baguettes, great yogurt, real cream sodas for the kids, and catering for those family holiday events where cooking while listening to my mother's need for infinite attention might put me right over the edge.

Will definitely be checking out Buford Hwy and Southern Seafood! I've bought a good deal from YDFM in the past with very mixed results. I'm now a little gun-shy with the "no returns policy".
