Default Trip to Calgary

I will be coming down to Calgary the weekend on March 11th, and will have a couple hours to check out some fish stores on the Sunday.

Where do you recommend I look? I have read Golds as a good vendor, any others?

Great places to check out.... IMO.

Gold's, Wai's and Ocean Aquarium. All great stores. I say nothing more !

I will be staying a couple blocks from Pete's drive in.

What order would I hit those stores in from there?

Then head north on Center Street to OA Calgary. Then hop onto DeerFoot (I think) and go WAY southeast to Golds.

We have BAs here, so I will probably skip that one.

Any estimate of drive time between OA and Golds?

Golds has reasonably priced Seio's, is that right? I have never tried one and might pick some up to test.

Yup, that's Gold's

Don't be suprised that when you go there, you find they have the best price for almost everything they sell. Not just their Seio's (of course, IMO)
