The good news is that the waitresses did have crabs.
What was it? Mayo on a hotdog bun?
A lot of people are now owed lobstah money.
This is Hugh and Sirius!
And there is no Ham in Hamburgers!
I’ve never had a buffalo wing that came from a buffalo.
Can I sue over that?

I remember years ago someone describing to me how scallops were often just round sections punched out of rays’ “wings” (with something like a cookie-cutter). Never been much of a seafood fan; the food smells the same when it is fresh and a month old...
I am reminded of the old Benny Hill sketch.
Waiter: How about some rabbit soup?
BH: I heard your rabbit soup has horsemeat in it.
Waiter: Yes, but only fifty percent.
BH: Fifty percent ?
Waiter: Yes, one horse, one rabbit.

There is a tremendous amount of lying in the fish business.
An honest Asian restaurant is rare. You never know what that mystery meat really is - beef, rat, dog? Fish - now there’s an even better place to rip the white eye off - is that cod, pollack, hake (surimi: crab, lobster), shark (dogfish)?
Stick to the stuff you can id like vegetables, rice, and shrimp.
Seafood fraud has a long history.
For anyone who has previously had the pleasure of eating lobster, it’s impossible to mistake the taste of fish for lobster. Lobster (from the very northeastern US and Canada) has a unique texture, density and taste. It’s also fairly expensive, so this restaurant was probably making a nice profit off of their little enterprise.
Ha! and LOL.

My local newspaper has started prominently listing health department restaurant closures - mostly for rat or roach infestation, one for “sewage discharge” whatever that means.
Every restaurant on that list was, is and has been either Chinese or Mexican - including a PF Chang’s (sewage discharge).
Think I’ll stick to home cooking...
