Smelly seafood anyone? We've been buying seafood at Roche Brothers for years now and it's always been fresh and good. Now, in the last month, we've had old and not fresh smelling salmon steaks which we returned and jumbo shrimp tonight which was once again not fresh. What's going on? Have we just been unlucky? Roslindale Fish Market isn't having this problem.

The menu says “Asian Sesame Chicken Salad – Grilled chicken with romaine lettuce, sliced almonds, toasted sesame seeds, red onions, crispy wonton strips, and our oriental honey ginger dressing.“ It sounds very good but the reality falls way short.

Long used as a substitute for saturated fats in baked goods, fried foods, salad dressings, margarine and other foods, trans fats also have a longer shelf life than other alternatives."
