Very expensive but well worth it in the winter to have an awesome seared Tuna steak or Pecan Crusted Salmon!

I assume you're talking about Costco (?)

The only thing about freezing fish is that it degrades the taste of some types of fish depending on how "done" you like it. For instance, salmon...if you like it on the pink side, you're losing some flavor and causing some bad texture if it's not fresh. If you cook it so the pink is gone it doesn't matter.

Cook's magazine just published some really interesting research about when to use fresh vs. frozen fish.

Did Cooks Mag. talk about vac. sealing before freezing? My son does that to the wild Salmon he brings home from Bristol Bay every summer. It seems to last pretty well. No complaints here. It may be the farmed salmon that disintegrates that way - due to the dyes, etc., they put in them to imitate the wild stuff. If anybody knows speak up now, or forever .........

Yes, it was about wild salmon. But they stressed that there are not only differences between types of fish, but in how you cook that particular fish. For salmon, if you tend to cook it so the pink is gone they say you won't notice a difference between fresh and frozen.

Surf & Turf in Cedar Park is pretty hard to beat! I used to be a fan of pacific star and Joe's, but Surf & Turf.... WOW!! YUMMY!!
