    It's been a while since I shopped in a Chinese
    market for canned fish - seldom enough in any
    kind of market. I don't recall the label as you
    describe it, though Swisher had dragged me to
    the Green Apple or Red Apple or something, which
    had an extensive variety of canned goods including
    fishes and corned mutton and similar deliosities.
    But this isn't fish, it's eel... ;) ok, quibbling... ;)
    Eel is a proper subset of fish. Doesn't much look
    right, I admit.

    Yes, I know that... which is why I said I was quibbling... Mentally I
    put eel in a category all of its own, as I like it so much... ;)

    The can itself is primarily red and gold, and the picture of the Old Fisherman is rather small and tucked into a corner of the flat side of
    the can, with a red and yellow checked background for that corner...
    I've not seen it in any regular grocery stores, and not even at all
    the different Asian markets around here....
    Still not sure I've seen the brand. The ones I have
    noted tend to have pictures of fish on the cans.

    The other half of that side shows a couple pieces of eel, with
    garnish(es) and a fork...

    I've also bought another called (I think) Spicy Roast Eel... the difference being the amount of capsicum in each... The sauce in the milder version still has a little kick to it, the other more so... but not really a lot of difference between them.... both are tasty... :)
    Not a big surprise that.
    Which, the not much difference, or the both are tasty....?
    Both, plus the one labeled spicy being spicier.

    Ok. :)

    Ian and Jacquie have a white peach tree, and so
    we have had more sugared peaches over here - after
    some time without satisfactory peaches, there's
    this abundance now, for which I am thankful.
    That sounds quite yummy.... :) There was a nice bowl of cut-up peaches
    as a possible sundae topping last night after the evening service... we
    had an ice cream social to send off one of our young men to a new job in Harrisburg PA...
    Turns out they also have a yellow peach tree - we
    later had a compote that had both colors, mixed.

    That sounds pretty, and, I trust, also very tasty... :)
