Looking for Langoustines

I love langostinos also, coming from Los Angeles. I've never seen them fresh outside of Mexico. Trader Joes sells them frozen and cooked, and they are pretty good.

I Had the BEST French Fries Today!

Thanks for letting us know!!!!!!! I am on the perpetual quest for the perfect fry. Hopefully, they can do it again.

Trader Joe's

OK, apparently I went to the wrong store. You're right, Bethesda was super small and the selection was horrible.

Trader Joe's

I moved here from Los Angeles, where Trader Joe's was truly our corner grocery. The prices were great and the quality and choices were outstanding. It was a true alternative to the big chains.

I went to the TJs in Bethesda, and spent over $100 on 2 bags of groceries! I didn't even buy any wine because they don't sell it in their Maryland stores!!!! The only unique thing I bought was simple syrup, for drinks.

On top of that, the produce was old and dirty, and the selections were mediocre. I'm better off shopping at Safeway and Giant.

Why do you shop or like Trader Joe's? Give me a reason, because I would love to shop there again.

Juniper berries?

Penzeys. When you go to the store, pick up their catalog. It's a great spice resource.

I'm surprised that you are using it for pork. Juniper berried are used for taming the gaminess of wild meat.

I'm looking for a fishmonger in or near Greenbelt.

I am specifically looking for wild Chilean sea bass. I want to stay close to home, but I'll travel if I can get what I want.

We live in Greenbelt (193). Any thoughts?

THANKS!
