What about the wine?

The S&S near me has a seafood counter with unpackaged seafood, I hardly see anything worth buying.

"So much has to be locally supplied; meats, dairy, produce, bakery, floral. Those items vary greatly depending on the suppliers"

I think that rings true for most super market stores.

Buck a can on sale days are long over, even for the 5 ounce cans, maybe for chunk light, By investment, if you mean you have to buy 8 cans, good thing they're canned and have a long shelf life.

I believe they have a liquid sodium solution added i.e wet scallops. Look for dry or divers scallops.

I think one underlying factor were the kids, not the establishment. The OP certainly understands that a couple of hungry kids can make a situation intense.

What about the food? What did you have, how did it taste? How were the spices in the dishes? Good to know they need more non-gloppy dishes but, it means little if what they are currently offering isn't good.

It was open last Labor Day.

Your adding another liquid, stock, with a different flavor profile. Wine for intensity and depth of the fruit and stock for adding the flavor like chic or beef in addition to adding liquid volume to the sauce.

I cook with kosher and use sea salt to finish before serving.

My hands are goopy, I'm getting ready to do a critical blend or mix of the recipe and I gotta pee!

Glad you supported your local establishment.

Just bought a container of blueberries, huge and sweet. Cantelopes are excellent as well.

I fry in deep oil, about 2 inches, the eggplant come out crisp and they absorb less oil.

Yes, the grocery store cans are 5oz vs Costco's 7oz and are the same price, a great value It's about $14. for 8 but, they don't go bad, I usually stock up when they offer an instant rebate.

I like between 21-28 days, I've done some of my own also, excellent.

Curious, why do say Kirkland canned tuna is expensive?

Personally, if I'm going for a great steak, it's dry aged. Wet just doesn't cut it!

replace bad clams? really, ever get a bad clam?

A bit out of wack, the OP got one fregg'n slice of white bread toast. Seriously on a tab of $120 for 4?

Halibut Point in Main St may be a good option, good food and a locals place. Top Side Grill and Cape Ann Brewing Co as well.

It should be fine, try pan frying or grilling, was this a frozen cryovac pack or did you freeze it yourself?

You can always use something like Truvia. I've mixed other fruits, berries etc with apples to minimize sugar use. Very ripe peaches are excellent.

Might want to call Rincon Limeno in Eastie, great Peruvian.

IMO, it shows stupidity and cheapness, I mean a slice, maybe ten cents?

They make for a great Italian ragu.

my thoughts as well, eat the heads!

find a new fish monger.

transfer to a mason jar or old jelly jar, will last forever.

Wonder if that could handle sausage gravy for my biscuits!
