Although I've been wary of their seafood (based on the fact that the
tuna looks like watermelon - bad), I was pushing myself to reconsider,
based on the price, like Homer with Apu's free shrimp. Sorry you had to
confirm suspicions, even if it's anecdotally. But I have had similar
troubles at allegedly more trustworthy big places - like, you know, the
one that just *recently* started using trays for steaks/filets. I assume
sale=old. And I don't buy early in the week.

But even I don't follow my own advice always, esp on catfish. [cue
ambulance siren]

Apparently, non-sale is no measure either. Caveat emptor:
