reminds me of an incident years ago. After driving for some time we decided to stop for a quick bite. We noticed turkey on the menu and when I asked waitress if this was "fresh Turkey", her reply was "Oh yes, I saw them open the can

ROFL! Reminds me of the time we had dinner at a steakhouse that had just opened. I was curious about the swordfish steak on the menu and asked the wait unit if the swordfish was fresh. Her very confident answer was "Yes sir, it was freshly thawed about an hour ago."

I've been told the orange juice is fresh out of the can more times than I can count. At least once, the waitress said it with a smile and smirk showing she understood the discrepency between the ad on the menu and the reality in the kitchen. I tipped her better than usual.

They'd plotz if they were serving my husband who asks (in coastal restaurants) whether the swordfish was long-lined or harpooned...

I also don't like the "new" fresh orange juice where they process the orange, peel and all. It might be fresh juice but it will never truely be fresh "squeezed", IMO.

ROFLMAO! I can just picture the blank stare he would get here in St. Louis. I really did not expect much in the way of seafood at a steak house here in the midwest, so I wasn't disappointed in the least. I'm getting hungry for some decent seafood now. Time for a trip to Boston 😉 I like the Back Bay area.

Although I absolutely love swordfish - I refuse to buy it. Period. The fisheries are seriously depleted, no matter how they are caught and we shouldn't contribute to the demise of swordfish.
If that doesn't stop him, tell him they are high in mercury.
All fish contain some mercury in the form of methylmercury, the agency said. "Large, predatory fish, which are higher up the food chain, can build up higher levels of methylmercury in their bodies. However, our survey identified levels of concern in only three species - shark, swordfish and the closely related marlin."
I also don't like the "new" fresh orange juice where they process the orange, peel and all. It might be fresh juice but it will never truely be fresh "squeezed", IMO.
I haven't run into this yet, but I'd be willing to try it. How is it labeled? Do I find it in the supermarket or specialty store?

Practice safe eating - always use condiments
That is not "new." That is the way if was done way back. It's just coming around again. There's a resort in Utah that serves oj this way.

Good for you, sf. I wholeheartedly agree. We are overfishing our oceans to death, and when they go, we go.

Yes, I agree, and I refuse to eat Orange Roughy for just that reason.
I've never seen swordfish for sale here, and if I did I still wouldn't buy it.

At a rural Florida (attempting to be) "upscale" restaurant 30+ years ago, my mother asked where her entree of frogs legs came from. The waiter's response: "Out of a box, I guess".
I think my mother was expecting a somewhat more appetizing origin... like from the local waters.

The Monterey Aquarium distributes little wallet-sized cards when you visit that tell you which fish are currently OK to eat, which are on the "watch" list, and which to definitely avoid. I think they keep the list updated on their website. -- Donna A pessimist believes all women are bad. An optimist hopes they are.

When did the Monterey Aquraium start doing that??? I visited in the past year... just a few months ago in fact... and completely missed out on it even though the information desk got to know me on a first name basis by the end of the day.

I was there about two years ago. I know they're still doing it, as a friend went there recently (within the last couple of months) and he got one of those cards on his visit as well.
But now ya gotta tell us your embarrassing story! We promise not to laugh <g> -- Donna A pessimist believes all women are bad. An optimist hopes they are.
