Never knew so many temporarily-embarrassed millionaires posted in these parts.<br /><br />Yes, what a terrible location for Stuckey's. A corner spot where thousands of cars drive past it each day to get on and off Highway One. They obviously should have located back in Park Pacifica by the horse stables.<br /><br />And apparently they should be giving their fish away for free because everyone totally just hops in their cars and drives twenty miles to HMB to haggle with Captain Ahab on the docks.<br /><br />Sorry about your head injuries.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481238059942383326.post-7637725842588161392014-07-25T16:17:32.077-07:002014-07-25T16:17:32.077-07:00Love Stuckey's, love fish, quality excellent a...Love Stuckey's, love fish, quality excellent and when taken as a whole the prices are fine, but that location is low-rent awful.

So, we're only talking about product cost, distribution and location of <a href="http://www.stuckeyssustainable.com/#!about/cjg9" rel="nofollow">Stuckey's Sustainable Seafood and Meat</a> market. <br /><br />341, if you missed that, here's the comment Hutch made at 719: "Charging $20 a pound for local Salmon you can buy in Princeton for $11 is not going to fly in that bad location." So the points Hutch made were: 1) cost is high, and 2) business location is not so good. Whereas, the Yelp 3) "Yummy fish and meat" comments were not <a href="http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/equivalent." rel="nofollow">equivalent.</a> <br /><br />Those other Yelp reviews may be genuine, or may be written by friends, or even purchased by <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/stuckeys-sustainable-pacifica" rel="nofollow">Stuckey's Seafood.</a> We all know that Yelp reviews may be purchased, don't we? Examples, a couple of the comments look professional. Then, that Seattle review is of interest since Kerri R. apparently lives in Pacifica. <br /><br />403 made a good point that customers are needed (in town or out of town). Its also possibe that Stucky's distributes to restaurants, or others looking for sustainable fish and meat product. <br /><br />At 752 (in a follow-up comment), Hutch said, "I've seen a half dozen businesses fail in Stucky's location. It's a tough spot. I think we owe it to these business owners to say what we think. It's up to them if they listen and take action." That follow-up concern about competition, location, and business survival are points well made by Hutch!Kathy Meehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14000878422176050692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481238059942383326.post-50067916222980501562014-07-23T16:03:02.648-07:002014-07-23T16:03:02.648-07:00Out of towners shopping in Pacifica is what we nee...
