Just wondering where you get your tuna.  Is Sam's/Costco a good option!  What about Fresh Market?

Thanks.

    I'm a fan of fresh market for fish. But Costco is also a good choice-

    I usually go to whole foods, Costco didn't start carrying tuna near me until recently,  Sam's used to have a good road show, but I let my membership expire.

    Thanks.  What is the price/lb for decent grilling tuna?  We finally worked up the courage to try some tuna at Cooper's Hawk winery and it was outstanding.

    You mean Pike Place Market? Fun to watch 'em throw the fish. I'll bet it was expensive - everything in Seattle is! =)

    Restaurant Depot sells fresh fish. Some of them do anyway. Some just sell frozen. I haven't tried any yet, but it looks good on ice.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Yeah theres a place within pike place market that i ordered a lot from.  I think it was City Fish Market.  Good guys, honest, did what they said they would and shipped frozen fish to me in AZ summer that was excellent

    I usually get my Ahi tuna @ Costco. It's in the $14.00 / lb neighborhood.

    Our normal store for fresh fish is Costco.  They only  have a few varieties - usually Salmon (several types), Tilapia, Catfish, Tuna, sometimes Halibut, sometimes Cod.  Plus they have various types of shellfish.  I think their fish is very good. 

    If you want great fresh fish, check out your nearest Restaurant Depot.  We have several within 1.5 hours of our house. The best fresh fish department is Philadelphia with Wilmington, DE, second best. Our closest RD in Harrisburg doesn't have fresh fish yet.  The RD fish is the best fresh fish I have ever had.

    If RD was closer, we would go there every week for our fish.
