Re: Would you buy fish from the guys on the side of the road?

with this stuff, i go by the adage , if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

That being said, I have bought from fruit/veggies from roadside farmstands without a second thought.

I always do!!!!! They are actually fish mongers who do this on the side to bring in business. We always get the lobster tails and put them in our rotisserie.

With the amount of people I see pulled over buying fish from them, I'd consider it.

I have never even seen anyone selling fish on the side of the road! Chat Icon I would probably buy it though.

Well my husband ate the lobster tails from them last night. . . . . . . .and is still alive to talk about it this morning. . so I guess they were fine!

He said he knows people who buy from them all the time and when he went to buy them there were 4 people in front of him and 3 people behind him. . .so that made him feel a little bit better.

I'm 6 months pregnant - so there was no way in hell I was going to risk it.

No, only because I've never seen someone selling fish on the side of the road. Plus we're regulars at the local fish markets here in Huntington.

Re: Would you buy fish from the guys on the side of the road?

I have a friend that's a food inspector and she told me once.

Supermarkets have to throughout the fish if it doesn't sell. Instead of trashing the fist they sell it to the farmers so the farmers can feed it to there pigs etc.

Then those farmers resale the fish to the street side vendors.

So that's a no for me...
