We’ve all watched some great movies this year and on Sunday evening we shall see which films and actors are awarded Oscars.

A sure sign of the holiday season – our Seafood Sale is off and running and there is an abundance of items that will find their way into my shopping cart over the course of the sale. An absolute favorite are the Lobster Claws from Maine, they are pre-scored making them very easy to crack open.
