    Shrimp Buying

    Did you check the scales with a bottle of water or specifically ask for "the real scale" at 3Boys? If not, then you probably did not get 5lbs. And at $8/lb, its doubtful you didi either. When I buy there, I always check the scale with a bottle of water at which point the other scale comes...

    Shrimp Prices

    Went to Productos de Mariscos on Monday and snapped some pics of the offerings if anyone is curious about current pricing .. Also got 14.1 pesos at the exchange so pesos would be cheaper here than dollars. For some reason, the site wont let me upload the pic (maybe because its greater than...

    Forum deterioration is sad

    Roberto, Your problem with this board is nothing new with any chat board. Comes down to moderators. Many subject specific boards go apeshit when something extraordinary happens in the area of coverage. Surely recent events qualify as extraordinary. Successful boards handle it by...

    Filets

    I've bought whole tenderloins from the Cedasa on Sinaloa and Ocampo a number of times before. The place is now called Carneceria Sonorese but they still carry Cedasa products. They'll cut anything you want as they just bring in entire half cows. Last time I bought tenderloin was a couple of...
