Ever heard of Island Creek? Well, they're a direct-to-consumer canned fish label bringing Mariscadora conservas to my house with a kicky American makeover. Uhhh, ok.

    I'm looking forward to the day you open that tin of razor clams. Way back in the dark ages, when I was a kid, we ate whatever my Dad could dig or catch from the Long Island sound, and that included a lot of clams. If we were with him, and found razor clams, my parents always told us they were inedible. I can't wait to finally try them myself!

I just ate 2 cans of King Oscar Mackerel on a paper plate, hunched over my stovetop, with a side of store bought Reser's macaroni salad, a sliced up fresh jalapeno, and a Three Stooges episode playing on my phone (#bachelorlife). It was enjoyable, but didn't reach the level it could have if I would have been watching a new episode of CFF.

    I love the smoked canned mussels from Ekone. They are fantastic. As per escabeche, yeah its a rather vague term and varies country to country. My Filipino friends would take red wine vinegar and add dried red chile flakes, a little garlic, and sometimes hot sauce and call it escabeche to dip deep fried squid rings into and eat. It was pert dang good too for cheapness. On a final note...I have searched high and low and moled up and burrowed down deep into the ether of the interwebs to find those fine point chopsticks but with no success. Where can I find them? Another fantastic video flick Matthew. Mahalo!
