Re: Anyone buy Fish from Target?
I'm from upstate and after living on LI for 12+ years, I have to say I now try hard to only buy fish from a fish store or Costco....I save the grocery store fish for when I'm more land-locked, JMO!

Re: Anyone buy Fish from Target?
Why would you be scared?
FYI - most fish is frozen that is sold at grocery stores, costco, etc. It is frozen immediately after being caught/cleaned/etc. Most of the 'fresh' fish has just been defrosted. You need to look for a sign or something that says "never frozen".
I like the plain fish from TJ's - the vacuum sealed pouches keep it fresh. I did once buy a tilapia or something with seasoning and I didn't like the seasoning. I have found their plain fish to be very good quality.
EDITED: Sorry, misread and thought you meant Trader Joes. No, I have never bought from Target but would think it would be okay if it was frozen?

Re: Anyone buy Fish from Target?
Only from the freezer like fish sticks and Gortons and such.
I've gotten sour milk from Target before so I am always afraid that stuff gets left out, then put back.
Also is it just me but do the dates on many of the Target "fresh meats" seem like they last a really long time?
They must be pumped with chemicals galore.

Re: Anyone buy Fish from Target?
For whatever reason I only buy fish from a fish market - than again we're not big fish eaters in my family, so I only go a few times a year.
I would never buy fish from Target after knowing the incidents I know:
-I've gotten spoiled milk from there even though the exp date was nowhere near
-My cousin bought ground beef and found maggots underneath it when she went to cook it
-My mom opened a pacakge of chicken she bought and nearly threw up from the rancid smell.
I always walk by their produce/meat section

Re: Anyone buy Fish from Target?
Funny you should ask this! DH JUST did this weekend, but only after I all but made him. He was wary at first, too, but he said it was REALLY good. I think it was some kind of salmon. I don't eat fish so I have noooooooo idea.

Re: Anyone buy Fish from Target?
Speaking of milk, theirs is always foul smelling to me. Tastes kind of off too. Every single time I buy it! So I don't anymore. The meat I do buy when I'm there on occassion, but I too wondered about the longgggg expiration dates!!
I don't think they will put things back after it's been out. If you get the register and don't want a perishable item, they have to toss it. Same goes for returning any food item. They throw it out.
