The structural issue is businesses catering to the middlebrow tastes and incomes from Red Lobster to JC Penney are struggling. Only the highbrow and lowbrow are surviving in this economy.

Red Lobster would do well to make some changes. When a plate
of their food gets to it’s destination it usually looks like
it has been sitting under the heat lamp for several hours.
Bad form.

Some time ago, somebody came up with a brilliant, relatively inexpensive and elegant idea. Find a quiet patch of ocean away from the coast, drop several nets of different sizes in it, and raise fish at sea. When the fish are mature, raise the inner net, and you have a boatload of live fish. The outer nets are to keep the fish predators out.

When they set up an operation like this, they found out that the fish gained a little more weight than the food they were given. There was no need to expensively clean or oxygenate, as the current did that.

They estimated that a few square miles of such aquaculture could provide seafood for millions of people. They even followed up the idea with another, to breed and release fish to repopulate wild species with healthier, disease free fish, helping the whole ecosystem.

the quality of the food is down and so are the portions. I have not been to a Red Lobster I think in more that two years.

I worked in Portland Maine for a while. One of the women who worked with me had a couple of her own Lobster Pots. For about five years I never had to pay for Lobster. Every time I went up there, she had a couple for me.

I got spoiled.

Red Lobster may be seafood in Nebraska.

It is not.

Red Lobster is reasonably priced and decent enough. We appreciate seafood places that serve non-seafood entrees - I love seafood, but my wife can’t eat it. Hadn’t been in one in a long time however - too many better options available.

I like Red Lobster. Sure there are better sea food places, but none so “everywhere”.

Places like Joe’s Crab Shack are great but too pricey for my pocket book to take in very often.

Rockin’ Baja Lobster is fantastic, but I am not lucky enough to be near one that I can partake in more than once in many, many a blue moon.

Red Lobster has the right mix for me.
