Seafood Stories
Whenever you travel near the ocean, seafood is an extremely popular restaurant choice. The idea is that since you are so close to the water, the seafood will be fresh and sourced locally. This is what we’d like to think, at least. A reliable source from the restaurant industry says that just because you’re near the ocean, does not mean that the seafood you’re being served is any fresher than if you were miles away in the middle of the country.
It might not always be the case – some restaurants near the ocean do provide fresh seafood – but one person says that more likely than not, a restaurant near the water is not splurging on local seafood, but rather is finding the cheapest option available, no matter where it comes from.
