The problem is trying to understand what they are saying through the very thick accent and the terrible scripted customer service isn't a positive either.

Urania.-

Your comment is very interesting ,-

Historically also in Spain one eats less fish in the Center of Spain than in the Coast.
But luckily Spain today has one of the best comunications on trains and highways and people can buy frozen fish and at parties fresh fish .-

And in the big cities of the interior like Madrid the fresh fish arrives in airplane
in less of 1 hour

The fish fresh, is more expensive in Spain than the meat and the food is very varied in Spain so it
has more merit than the population would prefer often to take fish fresh .-

The largest fish market in Italy is in Milan, so we move our fish too (and we buy fish from foreign countries too, for examples fish from the Atlantic). It is more like every region remained stuck to its traditional food, so even if nowadays it is no more hard to move food products all over the country, each region maintained a preference for certain kinds of food. Anyway, the situation is slowly changing, in particular in large cities such as Milan which are collecting a lot of people from all over the country (and even from abroad).
