Foodguy must have done a tasting on this at some point. Any suggestions where to look for really high quality smoked fish? My problem is that it is always an impulse buy, therefore I buy something from the store where I am shopping at the moment. Suggestions please, especially for really good trout and sturgeon.

Do you ever get to Chicago? I have a very interesting place to show you. I don't know if it will suit your Orange County tastes though.

Well, wherever the hell it is that you reside.

Fine, if you're going to have an attitude I'll call this date off right now.

My mistake, hopefully it can be forgiven. I will buy your forgiveness with smoked shrimp from Calumet Fisheries if you're ever in Chitown.

I was in OC last weekend. Were you the guy in the mall in the jean shorts, or the guy in the shopping center with the tank top?
