Dad worked in the Fulton fish market for north of 30 years (don't ask) and I was spoiled rotten with the best fish from childhood on. We also fished fresh and saltwater nearly to the point of compulsion and dad continues to do so. Fresh is fresh only if it is fresh. If you don't have access to a top shelf fish market, you would probably be better off with frozen. We had lovely dry scallops for dinner tonight here in Colorado, but I searched out one of the better/best retail fish markets here, drove out of my way to get there (in a raging thunderstorm), and turned my nose up at half or more of what they were selling. In contrast, when I go to Costco I can buy salmon or (to my surprise locally) wahoo in flash frozen, cryo-vacced individual servings that are perfectly acceptable (to my standards), if not up to the level of the really fresh fresh stuf.
