We reel in Swanson Fish!
I am so delighted to ad another high quality sponsor to DoingItLocal.com and that is Swanson Fish Market on Black Rock Turnpike in Fairfield! Freshness is ALWAYS the key and Swanson's delivers with fresh fish arriving every day from around the world at Fulton Fish Market. NO big box can deliver this promise nor that their fish hasn't been previously frozen. I'm really excited to be working with Sue Swanson and her daughter Larissa on not only how healthy seafood is but also how it can help me loose weight. I really need to lose about fifty pounds and this combined with exercise that will work for an old fart like me. There will be a lot more about this…
