Used to be able to buy fresh escolar at a Bristol Farms in Southern California sometimes, but only sometimes because they told me it didn't sell well due to it causing gastric distress in some people.

I am one of those who can suffer from it. First time i tasted it I loved it. I thought it was a sweet and tasty as lobster so I even had a second helping. The next I had a rather unpleasant surprise!
