Maybe you need to get a sturdy wicker market basket lines with a clean
dishtowel to use when you visit that store. However, if the baskets are
that bad, I'd wonder about the general sanitation throughout the store.

FWIW we have a local "H Mart" which encompasses all Asian food cultures
and it's pretty clean compared to other ethnic markets I've seen. The
fish counters always smell fishy, but not bad.
