If you can't grow your own or go to farmers market. Get them when it's early in the season (I.e. now) as a big reason they usually taste like shit is because they are harvested unripe and then ripen in transit, which causes them to be light in colour, watery and have that white centre to them.

But early in the season they are /more likely/ to be allowed to ripen on the plant.

I've been eating loads of strawberries this past week from my local big chain supermarket and they have mostly been amazing (and cheap too)
