StephanieL Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I love their cheeses. Have you been to their farm store up in Marin? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
voyager Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 It's never been open when we've been by. But their FM stall carries a pretty complete range and always has a competent, knowledgeable attendant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

small h Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Miserable day for the the USQ Greenmarket, but it was still pretty damn crowded! Mushrooms, cress, spinach, asparagus, skate, a whole flounder, squid... Oh, and ramps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sneakeater Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Annoyingly the Greenmarket fishmonger was unable to cut the fish I wanted to the size I wanted (apparently pathetic single people are too pathetic to sell to). So I went to the REAL fishmonger -- who had the fish I REALLY wanted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

voyager Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Hard to answer, It's seldom at our carriage trade mongers. I buy it when I fall over it at Clement St. Asian fish dealers. Last time I remember, I paid something like $2.25/lb for skin on quarters. Such a good and under appreciated fish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
small h Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Not that cheap here, for sure, but still very economical as fish goes. I usually have a few wings in the freezer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
voyager Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 I remember in Paris sitting next to a woman who identified herself as an Angelino (aka SoCal). She made contact after her entree plate arrived: skate. After poking around at it, she excused herself to me and asked if I could coach her how to approach it. Truly an odd fish compared to trout or salmon. I showed her how to just gently separate the flesh from the cartilage. So simple, so delicious. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
