PSA: Sourcing fish today feels nothing like the old market days
I remember when I first started cooking, we'd go to the fish market at dawn to get the catch of the day. Now, most places get frozen stuff shipped in, and it's not the same. The smell of fresh fish, the sound of the market, it was part of the job. I used to know the fishermen by name, and they'd save the best pieces for me. These days, it's all about supply chains and labels. I miss that personal touch, how you could feel the quality just by looking. Sure, things are more convenient now, but something's missing. It makes me wonder if we're losing the soul of cooking.
