It’s my habit to take pictures of fish for sale whenever I get the chance. After our trip to the Institute of Fisheries in Born, we stopped by at a roadside stand for a fish sandwich. Fish is higher priced in Europe than in the US. It is also sold by the 100 gram portion, about 1/4 of a pound or 5 oz, the proper serving size. The stand was replete with a reed roof, a construction technique popular and unique to the area. We saw many of the reeds growing wild as well. According to locals, the reed roofs can last up to 20 years.
Zander fillet – 3.95 Euro for 100 grams. That is $22.00/lb.
Asian Seabass fillets 2.43 Euro/100 g. That is $13.66/lb.
Zander is a European perch and a close relative to our native yellow perch.
