It's mostly the actual fatty fishy fish that I can live without

If the shellfish starts to smell too fishy it's getting old. Also, did you know that when it starts smelling fishy it is legally allowed to be cleaned with diluted bleach!? No lie! It prolongs selling time. That happened to me at Red Lobster once when I ordered crab legs. I told them to get me fresh ones bc these were old and smelled like bleach. They took them right back.

That's the beauty of where I live. Life's too short to eat shellfish over a day old

Just look for the thinnest stems possible. Asparagus isn't "in season" for another month or so.

Hint Break a piece off at the base and you will know where to trim up the rest of the bunch. Asparagus naturally snaps off at the most tender part.

Reading this, I just remembered you can actually buy frozen asparagus I usually get fresh.

That may be easier for Rhonda and no worries about snapping ends or pencil thick stalks
