. . the Philippine fish market! There's just about nothing in their inventory I haven't already bought, analyzed, written up and eaten.
Not to worry, I've already spotted an even bigger one a few blocks closer that has fish this one doesn't have. I'm nearing 80 fish now and should make it to 100 in fairly short order - then maybe I'll go on to something else. Haven't found any eels yet though.
So why do we have so many Philippine fish markets around here?
Because Philippinos eat a lot of fish.
And that matters because - the entire Southern California health care system along with elder care facilities and convalescent homes all run almost entirely on Philippinos. Healthcare is one big industry here - and that means lots and lots of Philippinos - and that means lots and lots of fish.
