I was excited about the idea of an Apple tablet long before the hype began. I remained excited despite the build-up hype. And yes, I’m STILL excited now that the announcement’s been made and people are scrambling over each other to dissect, critique and mock. Here's why I'm excited about the Apple iPad.

Jeff and I went for a walk after he came home from work today, and we decided to check out De La Mer, a new fresh fish shop on Bayview Avenue. I have nothing against the bigger mega-grocery complexes, but I love the intimacy and cozy friendliness of independently owned places like De La Mer.
De La Mer is run by Dave and Blake, two friendly guys who are pretty enthusiastic about their seafood. I asked Blake to come out of the back room where he was doing stuff with knives and seafood so I could take this photo with my iPhone:
Dave showed Jeff how to shuck an oyster. Happily, Jeff managed to shuck the oyster without also shucking off any of his fingers:
Dave gave us each a Beausoleil oyster....yum. We don't tend to eat much seafood but after visiting De La Mer, I'm thinking I may start experimenting some more.
We ended up buying some seasoned salmon fillets, and here's Jeff's creation for dinner:
Yum.
Anyway, i's clear that both Dave and Blake know a ton about seafood (Blake is also a chef), so I'm also hoping to pick up some prep pointers. Anyway, if you're in the Bayview-Eglinton area and have a craving for something fishy, do check out De La Mer:
