Plenty of good advice already...to be honest my wife hates mussles so I never get to cook the little buggers...though I love them.

Agree with Chef 100% on the tomato issue. To be honest, I rarely buy fresh tomatoes anymore...even the vine ripened ones are usually mealy and flavorless...all for 4+ bucks a pound

Sometimes the smaller campari tomatoes can be decent, but it's a crap shoot.

Good garden tomatoes should be eaten raw, everything else I use is canned or packaged. I really love the San Marzano DOP tomatoes from Camapagna, nothing else even comes close.

But being that Zacs works in New Bedford, hop on over to Sid Wainer and pick up some Pomi tomatoes in the boxes.

Zacs, no need...just swing by Tiverton.

I've got a food pantry that's nearly as big as my plug stash

MMM Oysters! Gotta be Wellfleet oysters tho. Spence, I haven't had a decent store-bought tomato in years. The few garden tomatos I've scored have been a real treasure. My Dad treated the first garden grown tomato of the season as a Holy icon.
