Carolina?
Right now there are Stripers to be caught around New Bern. Plenty of
what we call Speckled Trout up in the feeder creeks. I don't know what
they are doing on the coast.
Are you in the New Bern area?

No. I have a friend in Raleigh who claims her grocery stores never have
locally caught sal****er fish. Not shellfish, but fish. The story sounds
fishy to me, so that's why I'm asking. The problem could be the store, her
lack of knowledge, or maybe there isn't much available for other reasons.
So, I'm curious.


I live just as close to the coast as your friend in Raleigh, and if it
is locally caught fish, they never label it as such. The do label the
country of origin, wild vs. farm raised, but if I am not mistaken, it
all comes to the store frozen. I have never it labeled as fresh,
unfrozen fish from the GA. coast, NC coast or Fla. coast. I think the
restaurants buy all the fresh local fish, and it never makes it to the
supermarkets.
