Honestly I think that is pretty poor advice. There are alot of terrible b&t's out there. I guess you don't know unless you go but asking for other opinions on shops is definitely the best way to get a feel for what places are good. There are plenty of places that smell like sh#t and will sell you a bucket full of dead eels.

I go to Belsan in Scituate for close to home but otherwise it's M&D's or the Saltwater Edge which I guess is more of a outfitter/tackle joint than a bait shop.

I think you misunderstood my intent. I am only trying to get to a bait shop in a unfamiliar area. Not in this area. I agree that there are lousey shops and good ones, but when you want bait somewhere you are not familiar with in a hurry directions do help - good or bad.
