No frills fish
by Karen A. Jamrog
Looking for fresh seafood to cook at home? No need to dust your tackle box. Just head to Fresh Fish Daley in Exeter, where you won’t get a fancy presentation or piped music, but you will find top quality fish as well as a warm hello from owner Fred Daley, who uses a stick. hockey game to catch lobsters from their tank, and happily shares cooking tips. After visiting the store a few times, Fred will greet you by name, making you feel like a bona fide member of the neighborhood as well as smart pants who know how to get the catch of the day without having to impale all the worms. (They don’t call it brain food for nothing.) Facebook
