The Fresh Factor: Salute to the Fish Co-Op

The Fish Co-Op is one of my all-time favorite places on Guam. I go in there at least once a week and am fairly proud of the fact that the guys behind the counter know me by name. They also know I'm going to ask, "Is it fresh?" They almost always roll their eyes and say yes... but every once in a while they don't answer and instead go look in the back to see if something else just came in :)

For any Guammies who are reading, this is a great place to be a consistent tipper, as it has paid off in a number of ways.... like the employees' willingness to check the back for me (when they don't have out what I want). Sometimes they surprise me and throw in a free tray of poki, which is absolutely to die for. Oh, I am going to miss this little market.

Here's my write-up on the Guam Guide, accompanied by a lemongrass ginger marinade recipe that turned out to be pretty fantastic. Enjoy!
