I have read this in the papers that the boats were selling it cheap in steveston. If you can get it for that price that is awesome

Post by: anorden on August 29, 2010, 09:14:36 AM: The worlds most overpriced fishmonger in Kits has whole sox for $4.99 per pound or fillets for $9.99. If they are selling for that others should be more like $3 IMO!
