For example:

When you open a fresh jar of peanut butter do you only work through one side until it is completely empty then start on the other side?
Or when you get those shallow tubs of hummus does it have to make it back home undisturbed? Then one of the baggers at the grocery store shoves it sideways into the bag completely ruining the symmetry.

The 200-mile rule. Sushi is amazing but raw fish has to be trasnported somehow. If your eating seafood and are not within 200 miles of a body of water where it could have been caught... Probably best to pick something else.

Montana is not famous for its aquatic cusine.

And I too do the peanutbutter thing you mentioned.

Vast majority of fish you're eating is flash frozen, even if you're on the coast.

And the flash freeze helps to kill parasites on the fish, so theres is that too.

Alaska has a rule where a long as they freeze the fish on the processing boat (ie before it gets to the on-shore processing facility) they can label it as "Fresh Never Frozen."

I mean, we don't even do this within Japan. Most things are either flash frozen or kept alive until they can be served. Hell, on TV last night they did a segment on how a lot of the Tuna used by a major Japanese sushi chain (Sushiro) is caught in Malta, frozen on the boat, and then brought to Japan. I get the idea, but it's not a good rule these days.

Basically none of the fish you buy even right at the ocean is from that ocean unless you buy it right from the fishing boat (and even then....)

This is why I get imitation crab/lobster
