Re: Let It Snow!
As I told Karibien last year, after 20+ years doing T-day in SBH my tradition IS T-day in SBH. I'm used to it. Digger, Mrs. Digger, and Marius will be at the table to the right as you enter Wall House. We'll be on the left. Beyond that, everything is in play. What looks and sounds good on T-day will be what I eat.
As to freshness, I hear you, but I come from a long line of fishermen who came home at the end of the season with a hold full of salt fish from the coast of Labrador - or Greenland if they got bored with Labrador. I'm just thankful for ice - salt fish sucks.
Sometime I'll send you the story of my Great Grandfather who didn't quite make it home from Labrador - heavy weather, wrecked within sight of home, all hands lost except for one.
