(For all the varieties check out www.hawaii-seafood.org) Only fresh tuna is from here, though. Frozen tuna is usually imported. I think supermarkets are supposed to label the country of origin for fish. If the fish is any of the varieties at hawaii-seafood.org, and the country of origin is USA, most likely it's from here. When in doubt, I ask the person behind the seafood counter.<BR/><BR/>Also, that site is fascinating! We currently live in a rental with a teeny yard and no sun. But so far, I've managed to produce lettuce and some eggplants...we'll see how it goes!marthahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09304034720450184747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534856658951289732.post-15995371578263795472008-10-30T21:53:00.000-10:002008-10-30T21:53:00.000-10:00PS, the obvious next step in local eating is growing your own. Have you seen this site? Pretty impressive. <BR/><BR/>http://www.pathtofreedom.com/about/urbanhomestead.shtmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534856658951289732.post-65520957048260766492008-10-30T21:52:00.000-10:002008-10-30T21:52:00.000-10:00martha, <BR/><BR/>i am also from oahu. we visit the kailua farmers market which is in our neck of the woods. <BR/><BR/>i love your mission and have been following your adventures since reading about them in the honolulu weekly. <BR/><BR/>one question though - how do you know when fish is local? do you simply go with local varieties? If presented with the option I would always choose local (if price wasn't a huge factor) but, I am never quite sure where my fish is coming from. The markets don't make it very clear. What is your take?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534856658951289732.post-40325341319593431752008-10-29T18:13:00.000-10:002008-10-29T18:13:00.000-10:00Mmm..
