Great Expectations

I am marching into my third month, and am concerned with a few of my findings. I expected, by now, to be whining about missed fruit and vegetables. But, that hasn't happened. I knew I would be giving up items and looking for alternatives.

What I didn't expect, was to be giving up foods I previously thought were Canadian products.

What I didn't expect....was how difficult it is to find frozen Canadian fish.

I guess I never checked the labels. I just assumed the majority of frozen fish sold in our grocery stores were products of Canada. Living in New Brunswick....I probably thought they might be local products. Every package (that I have found) of frozen Highliner fish, is a product of China.

I didn't expect I would have to be so careful with frozen fish products. I assumed the stores would carry local choices, at least Canadian choices. I also checked the store brand packs of frozen fish.

I did my shopping at Sobeys and the Superstore. I thought it was easier. Well, it was easier, just not worthwhile. I can do better. .
