Once went to a wedding at the aquarium in Philly that featured passed piscine hors d'oeuvres. Those still swimming were not amused by the salmon and shrimp and whatnot. Felt a little guilty, I did, with all those eyes watching.
How was their lobster bisque?
Don't know. About then's when I got all guilty feeling. See, my friend insisted that "one of the fish [in the tank] looks Jewish." It was a Jewish wedding, so the guilt was appropriate, I guess.
Well, if he was hanging out with crustaceans, he definitely wasn't kosher.
The Monterey Bay Aquarium has a pretty darn good seafood restaurant on the premises. Only problem is that the service was terrible.
"Yes, I'll take the that one over there, the one with the big claws. He amuses me."
I always feel like some medievel king when I go to places like that. Choosing your prey is so primitive.
Last time I was in Houston, Enron had just gone down--literally, I mean. Someone stole the sign from the front atrium/piazza type thing.
Houston was a dead town. That was almost 2 years ago; I hope to God those cowboys bounce back--it was depressing walking the streets at rush hour and not seeing anyone.
I ate there last month! Being from Texas (not Houston) and having family in Houston, I was there for a visit and we went to the aquarium and I pet the baby sting rays in the petting zoo which was too cute. Then I ate their brethren. Mmmm.
Houston's not dead; you just have to know where to go. And as for the Aquarium, most people hate it. It's really ugly. The guy who owns it is almost universally reviled here. But I do have to go there each year on my niece's birthday. She loves it.
The Aquarium is a chain; the original location is on the boardwalk in Kemah (south of Houston, north of Galveston). Guess it made slightly more sense being on the water, but the place is an overpriced crapfest regardless.
To Robotnik: Nobody walks in Houston. That was your first mistake. Your second was in the statement "Someone stole the sign" from Enron. It was sold, just like all the rest of their goods, at an inflated profit.
