You miss the point. Sure, you can get groceries at wally-world a bit
cheaper..... and we've noticed this with seafood.... they'll beat
the local market, pricewise, but they can't come close with respect to
freshness.

If your only criteria is money, wally-world is your best choice. If
you really care what the food tastes like..... you *can* do better.

Your choice.

With respect to seafood, it all depends on your definition. Any store can
sell what I like to call the "Red Lobster Assortment", the stuff that's
frozen and flown all over the planet, like shrimp and lobster tails.
However, at the WM stores here, we never see the small batches of seasonal
stuff that you can find in any small fish market along the coast, like
flounder, bluefish & striped bass. For those things, I get an email from
Wegman's alerting me to the fact that those products are arriving.

Even if WM carried things like that here, I wouldn't trust it. If they can't
properly handle vegetables, why assume they can properly handle fish?
