Wal-Mart Wont Sell Fresh Seafood in Florida Anymore



Wal-Mart is going to stop selling fresh seafood in Florida.

The decision was not related to the oil spill, but because the company did not did not see enough business in fresh seafood, Joaquin Gonzalez, Wal-Mart vice president for Florida told The St. Petersburg Times Tuesday. Wal-Mart, Florida's third largest grocery chain, still sells frozen seafood, he said.

If I were going to eat fresh seafood, it would not be from Wal-Mart.

Interestingly, Whole Foods already has stopped buying and selling seafood from the gulf, even from waters that are deemed safe for fishing, said Russ Benblatt, spokesman for Whole Foods markets in Florida.

As I mentioned before, I wouldn't eat it anything from the Gulf anyway!
