If I lived in Long Island, I'd know what fish to expect in markets (or

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 was asking 'dvh'. The Safeway just down the road never has any locally
caught fish. The Giant, a couple miles away usually has croaker, stripers,
spot, perch, and sometimes trout, all of which could be considered 'local'.
I've no idea if they were 'locally' caught, however. But, it does show that
the problem could be the store.
