Sushi is, counterintuitively, a good bet for seafood in inland spaces. Most good sushi, even a lot of it in coastal states, is made with flash frozen fish. Even many high end sushi chefs prefer flash frozen fish to fresh because it's so reliably the same.

I agree with you in big, high-income cities. The sushi is great in St. Louis and Denver, for instance. But here in Springfield, nobody's eating enough good sushi from the same places, so it sits frozen for quite a while. Can you find some palatable fishes at some places at some times? Probably, but it's definitely not the sublime experience that sushi should be.

<_< tbh, despite growing up on the gulf coast, I am a pretty poor judge of seafood quality. If you pull it out of the water, I will eat it. If you wrap small portions of it in rice, I'll eat 8-12. But sushi has been the best seafood I've had from a restaurant since moving to Springfield.
