First trip to New York, for a family reunion at Christmas. my Neice took 6 of us to ""Fish"", as I said I wanted some decent Lobster, after 27 years in Glasgow where anything bigger than a shrimp gets called Lobster.Anyway, straight to a table. We must have ordered 6 trays of oysters on the half-shell along with many Pabst Blue Ribbon beers (still for $8 you get a beer and 6 oysters). Then I ordered the ""Lobster Special"". Out came the largest Lobster I have ever seen, in a Zoo, on televison documentaries, anywhere...it was enormous and fed all 6 of us. I swaer the claws were the size of my hand! In any event, we devoured it. I believe there were lots of other things on the platter, like fries and Corn on the cob etc, but the Lobster was out of this world. The restauarant was actually fairly quiet, yet it was full of people just the same. It was the only trip into Manhatten, and well worth it.
