You guys know about our favorite fishmonger in the whole world right? His name is Pat and he runs Mission Fresh Fish out in San Leandro. You can find him at several farmer’s markets around the Bay Area. We’ve talkedabout hima loton this blog. See, his fish is truly the best I’ve come across. And this is one of the things I get the most from him—salmon collars.
