My preference would be to post a question about particular types of fish from regional suppliers, and asking for PMs regarding suppliers of fish in that area.
I've seen just way too many good suppliers go bad, then recover.
I also can really identify with JKB's example of Walmart shoppers. Just recently we've purchased several items in the $250-$750 category. It was very disturbing to read the reviews.
One in particular was for a rather popular paddle/pedal boat available from several big box stores. If I didn't have friends with one of these things, that I'd used, I would never have bought one based on the reviews. This was a product we got from TSC, but was locally available from several other retailers.
We absolutely love the thing. It is very tough. It is extremely stable and safe. We got it for the grandkids, but I use it far more than them.
It seemed like the reviewers were comparing it to an ocean-going drug-smuggling boat with extreme engines and extreme performance.
