This looks like a lot of fun!
This is a great list. We love Wild Planet Foods!
Thanks for telling us your favs. So many cool things to try.
I have heard of Peregs and am a fan of Wild Planet. I love the latter and for me it is a treat since it is somewhat pricey. Sounds like a terrific place to experience new foods.
