Frozen fish at the market



One of the best - bestest - features of Niterói is the fresh fish market. Plus there are fish markets set up in street markets - twice a week in our neighborhood.

The flip side of the coin is that frozen seafood in the grocery store is NEVER vaccum shrink-wrapped. It is all cristalized - freezer burned and tastless.

C'mon Brazil - you have fabulous seafood - why is it not packaged appropriatley?

In my Brazilian life I had never imagined somebody would buy frozen seafood. Until I Start my Dutch life, where all seafood (even if you buy form the "vis boer" - the fish farmer) is frozen. Thus cristalized, freezer burned and tasteless.
