Getting furloughed starting tomorrow and I'll suddenly have some time to fish. Anyone know where to find frozen Chovies or Herring? Obviously tray bait would be the preference but maybe one of the Asian markets has them by the lb?
I'm on the SF Penninsula but would probably travel 20 miles or so.

Chinatown in SF probably a good bet.
Check any of the Ranch 99s, Marina Seafoods, Ocean Supermarkets, Lions.... basically any Asian market.

Call around, some bait shops are still open based on also selling food, all it takes is chips and sodas,,,,,Or so I've heard. Bodega tackle is still open, but that's Petaluma, and the bait shop at McAvoys in West Pitt is still open as of a day ago.
