The wild sockeye, that is . . . a whole fileted side of fish for $20. Advertised in the circular for $15 or so a pound, I thought it was a pretty good deal. When I got there, the per pound price was around $12, and there wasn’t much of it left. There were a few slices from what used to be a fillet, and one whole fillet.
Hell’s bells — for that price, I bought half a fish.
The store had some soft-shell crabs, which are also in season. I had a little fun with the lady in line in front of me, when I pointed to one of the crabs, and said “Don’t you love the way the eyes on that crab keep looking around?” To her credit, she didn’t freak, or smack me. She merely replied “I refuse to look.”
We are having sockeye for dinner. My favorite food in the entire world is wild sockeye. It trumps maple walnut ice cream.
YES! This is going to be a really good dinner.
