The goby looks delicious and I will try it. But I don't heat it in a clay pot because I saw the California cancer warning. The paint and quality of the clay pot are not guaranteed. I leave it on the stove to warm it up a bit, then take the fish out and transfer it to a pan to heat it up.

The prices are much better than Asian markets, the food is fresh, and it's packaged very carefully. I need to buy groceries from Wee every week, but there's no fresh food delivery service through Gofftown, so I can only order through a friend or acquaintance. It's a shame because it's so inconvenient! Hopefully, they will offer fresh food delivery through Gofftown in the future. I'll only buy from Wee and won't need to go to any other market anymore.

Dried Wahoo Steaks are quite delicious. It has a fishy smell to it, so I wash it with vinegar to remove the fishy smell and some of the salt, it was then seasoned with lemon juice, herbs and spices. I cooked it in the air fryer for about 20 minutes. It was quite delicious served with steamed rice and cucumber salad. I’m definitely going to repurchase.
