"These days, it is hard to find a good, fresh, fish without chemicals, pollutants, etc. Along comes EcoFish at my local health food store and life is good again. I have tried the Calamari, salmon and most recently, the delectable white shrimp! Bravo! I may never buy fish anywhere else again. I had to write to you to tell you that you have one very happy customer. Keep up the good work."

Sincerely,
Roberta K.
