If there are many pounds of fish that will be thrown out, I ask the manager to take even more of a discount. <BR/><BR/>Often fish is frozen, and cannot be frozen twice. So I explain to the manager that I will have to cook it tonight, or tomorrow, but I am happy to buy it and help them sell it, if they mark it down to say 25% of the original price. <BR/><BR/>Then after baking the salmon, for example, I can make salmon cakes, cold salmon salad, etc. There is plenty to share and we are keeping hundreds of dollars of fish (and the energy it took to transport it from the Pacific Northwest to Texas!) from the waste bin!<BR/><BR/>KatieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
