I tend to agree that supermarket produce can vary in true quality in a

Their fresh fish stalls are entertaining since sometimes some of the
fish is obviously well past its best if you know what to look for.

One thing to look for is the date on the back of the customer-facing
ticket. Just lean forward a bit, to inspect the goods of course!
