Mail Ordering your Produce, Fish, and Meats: better than the supermarket?
I recently bought some wild alaskan salmon from a company called Vital Chocie. And was quite impressed with the product.
The fish comes frozen in an airtight vacuum-sealed bag and is quite different from what I get at the store. Deep-red color and much firmer than farm-raised salmon.
I was also impressed with their canned salmon (quite good) althought much less so with their blueberries.
As for other companies I've tried:
I've had fruits and vegetables from Harry and David (always excellent). I usually get them as gifts. And also from Hale orchards.
And a freind of mine had some Omaha steaks he made one night that have to be the best home-cooked steaks I've ever had.
I guess my main question is that all this stuff is great, but quite exspensive. Is it worth it all the time (well I guess since my bank account won't allow it that's a moot question for me)?
How about some of the time? Or do you tend to think that all the mail order stuff is overpriced and overrated?
Also, please post any companies you tried and liked in the past.
