Though its an eastern seafood dish rather than a west coast seafood
dish, the operative word would seem to be scrod.

Two points.  First, you bought two months too early.  Dealers usually
get a little more desperate for a sale in mid-February when the market
is worse.  Second, you paid $850 over invoice+destination.  At this time
of year, you should probably have paid about $450 - 500 over
invoice+destination.

Dealer just told me that he'd sell for $400 over now.  That means prolly
$200 over in February.  But he knows that I know all of their costs
before I ever drive to the dealer.

Generally with the current credit crunch the market is a little slow.
You might have done better.

Maybe next time show the dealer all the research info on dealer invoice,
etc. you can get from Edmunds.  Lay it all out in front of the salesman
and ask just how much he thinks he really needs above his cost.  (there
are hidden incentives Honda provides that make dealer margins better
than what they appear.)

But if you're happy, that's all that counts.
