I'm jealous!!!
We have big chain stores here, just not in the bush where I am. No
walmarts though. We were meant to be coming for a holiday there this
year but it's been put off until 2007 now due to farm committments. I
plan to visit a walmart and see just what they are. I find it hard
enough to go to cities now and have such a choice available. It will be
interesting to see what the fisho brings me on Thursday.

I know you probably do not have that big chain store downunder named
Wal MArt, but this past weekend the wife and I were in thel local
walmart andfound large 5# bags of mixed muscles, squid rings and arms,
octopus, shrimp, and clams........all diced up in small pieces perhaps
1/2" in size. Heck the whole bag was like $3.50 USD, so I figured what
the heck, picked a bag up. Also made a stop at the local oriental
market for some assorted sheets of NORI algae.....got it in red, brown
and green types....came home and we threw a bucnh of the stuff into a
food processor scooped it out into egg crate light grill material, and
put it in the deep freeze. For the price for 5# of fresh frozen stuff
ike that and less than 10 cents a sheet for thre NORI, I now have
more food than i can possibly use, as I still have a heap of
previously prepared food, as well as what i get at my lfs on
occasion. I think the fish are in a better position foodwise than us
human types in this household are..Same thing goes for the food for
our 6 dogs and 1 wolf hybrid....We have large 50# sacks stacked up as
we take advantage of any good sales...
