i can ship gorgeous wild coho salmon that we've caught aboard our own fishing boat, smoked and preserved by a small independent business, but if i offer you free shipping, i make negative money! its the same for all the people out there selling stuff they've made or grown or harvested...

@seachanger Can you only ship to the US? I'm not sure how it works with fish!

@stephanie i have shipped over seas but it's been a while and i forget the process...

so many NYC fishmongers closed down after Hurricane Sandy (2012) haven't been able to find good everyday fish in downtown outside of Chinatown. the situation is dire for a g'damn island.

same with butchers. we lost ours down in the East Village. have to go up to East Harlem now.

supermarkets aren't substitutes for butchers nor fishmongers. i want peeps who buy directly from ranchers and fishers.

NYC's real estate mafia is killing a lot of these food traditions.

@seachanger bookmarked!

For years, I begged my mom to tell my grandma to stop gendering the Christmas gifts where the boys get smoked salmon and I (the only girl) get fruit or flowers. I want salmon too! It's not a proper holiday without it!

@seachanger Ooooh! This is so very tempting.

Would you mind describing the texture of the smoked fish?

@kristinHenry It is kind of in between a traditional canned salmon product and a more lightly preserved smoked salmon that would need to be refrigerated.

So it's not like a lox product, more like canned tuna, except a lot more flavorful and firmer?

Here are some customer photos/dishes which might help...

Idk, “free shipping” is up there with “the cloud” in terms of corporate myth making that obscures predatory practices, it requires a suspension of disbelief that just so happens to really benefit the individual customer
