Hi Pete, glad to see you on the board with us !!

Pete the last time I handle wet fish was with A&P in Atlanta, Ga. in the 70's.  most fish you find nowadays here in the states has been frozen, let thaw before selling.

I'm quite sure some of the guys here does, I like this post you made, this subject never came up before. Guess we will find out over the next 24 hours if any of the others do  lol

Thanks Leon. I guess there is a time difference between us.
Shame that the fish is frozen, sooo much nicer when fresh.

I do sell crab, but I cook clean and dress for resale, they are a good money maker.

Heel is mainly used for stewing/braising nowadays.

Topside still rules for roasting......well in my shop anyhow.

I handle some fresh fish. Depends on whats in season. Recently I've had fresh swordfish loins, yellowtail, haddock, chilean sea bass, soft shell blue crab, maine dry packed scallops, red snapper and a few others. I'm looking to try other fresh fish as no one in my market really does any fresh. The bulk however comes in frozen. Cutting meat is my specialty but I can fillet a fish pretty well too.

 Hi Pete,Hi Pete,

Welcome to Meatcutersclub.  That's a beautiful display! I wish I had checked out the butcher shops when I lived in Dunoon (Scotland) in 1973-75, but I didn't know that I would become a meat cutter.

I work in a supermarket and we do have fresh fish (and frozen too). I had never heard the term "wet fish". Unlike many markets in my area, our fish is delivered directly to the store six days per week instead of first to a company warehouse where it sits (for how long??) before finally arriving at the store.

In the second picture of page one, I see a sign which I can read part of, but not all. It looks like it says "Proud to serve Welsh Beef". Is that correct? That reminds me of a sign I saw on a building in Scotland: "Best Scottish Beef from Wales". At the bottom it listed the butchers name "Wales" I thought that was so funny that I took a picture. I still have it.
