  If any of you are ever in Arlington, there is a wonderful place
          called the Hong Kong Market which carries LIVE eel, crab,
          squid, etc.  They also have a fantastic array of canned and
          dried foods and stuff you can't find anywhere else.  It's on
          the South end of Park Row, but North of I-20.

          Hope this helps.
