As a Bostonian, I am absolutely mystified by this “never met anyone who mentioned that they have recently eaten seafood” thing. Sure fish is hard to find in middle America, but California and Florida? Fish on restaurant menus, at least, can’t just be a New England thing.

I grew up in Cali. Lots of people eat it. I’m amazed how anyone could live on the west coast and not see this. I think they’re just making stuff up.

Raw seafood will be available at pretty much any midsized grocery store and most steak houses will have a couple dishes on the menu.

I've carefully said that the stores sell the stuff "raw" rather than "fresh" because I sure don't enjoy the smell in that section of the store (but then I'm probably allergic to shellfish).

Ever since flash freezing has been a thing, you can find sushi and sashimi at almost any grocery store in the US.
