fwiw,

Visited the famous DeKalb Farmer's Market in Atlanta today. This market offers choices from more than 500 cheeses from around the world, an enormous selection of imported vegetables alongside local produce, a huge meat market including buffalo and goat, and an extra-ordinary fish market with selections of fresh and frozen fish and shellfish from the earth's waters.

Most amazing, in this large, very Southern city, is the huge bank of cashiers who speak to customers in languages I've never known about. There appeared to be more than 50 check-out clerks with each fluent in a particular language or dialect. No pictures or videos are allowed to be taken inside the market or in the very large room utilized as checkout.

It's been a couple years since I've been to the DeKalb Market. Noticeably different is the selection of fish and shellfish. Much of the fish is now from Brazil or Costa Rica. Did not see anything from the northern pacific area. Only a couple of species from Florida, one being "Moon" fish. The only thing I saw from the GOM was good looking, large shrimp. That is all. Amazing, since the GOM was once a major source of fish for us at this market. There was lobster from Maine and a couple types of fish from "Virginia." Didn't see anything noted being from the Atlantic.

I could have missed some species because the market is large.
