September 18/St. Petersburg, Fla./St. Petersburg Times -- Eight weeks after the oil stopped gushing, diners are regaining their shaken confidence in seafood, but remain particularly leery about anything culled from the gulf.
Never mind that there is no product shortage except for gulf oysters, or that regulators cleared 85% of the 600,000 square miles of gulf waters for fishing (up from 63% a month ago), or that testing for traces of oil by-products around the spill area has been stepped up.
