Food Can Kill so Get it Right!!!!

DO YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE ?

Between these two things?

vs.

The answer:

1. One is a FISH the other is NOT a Fish.
   
2. One can kill or cause serious injury and the other is just plain delicious too many people.
3. The NON fish is actually a CRUSTACEA
   

If you are in the Food Industry, i.e. you own a restaurant you should know the difference.

Check the definition:

Read the definition of a Crustacea above

Why is this IMPORTANT:

Because the Number one FOOD ALLERGY amoung adults is :

Shell fish or more actually (for restaurateurs) CRUSTACEAN .

Most Seafood restaurants know this and take strong precautions to warn people about shell fish contamination and use the correct terms Fish vs. Shellfish.

NOT "The Crab Cooker" restaurant in Newport Beach.

Now I know what you are thinking, The Name of the restuarant says it all. True, but, and this is a large BUT, The Crab Cooker goes to the EXTREME to advertise that they sell FISH FISH FISH.



Check out the website, for The Crab Cooker like we did. It clearly states, "We do one thing FISH!" That would lead one to believe:

1. They probably sell fish
2. They probably have more than one or two types of fish.
3. They probably don't sell anything but fish.

That's not the only evidence of them selling hard on Fish (not shellfish, FISH)

EVERY server Greets you with the same greeting:
Welcome to The Crab Cooker where we serve, FISH, FISH,FISH



Are you feeling the theme?




This is a Fish



This is also a Fish, they have a fish above the Women's restroom and the Men's restroom.


NOW THE PROBLEM:

When you read the menu you realize that they ONLY have 3 (Yes 3) types of fish.
They only serve 4 (YES 4) different Fish plates.

I ordered two of them (one was an appetizer).

The above is the very mediocre and mild smoked Tuna.
Actually smoked across the street at the annex.

This is the Halibut dinner special. Mediocre, and this is the dinner plate with chesse mashed potatoes and slices of tomato because they don't serve salad. This dish was $10.

All the plates are paper and all the utensils are plastic. Seriously, plastic! Plastic can't be cheaper than washing inexpensive steel flatware. Let alone how unfriendly to the environment plastic is, wake up! This is the beach, the environment should be your first concern.

I could go on and on about how difficult it is when a group decides to go out to eat together. The group has to consider the various dietary oddities of each individual before a restaurant can be chosen. This variety in requirements is why it important that restaurants know what they serve and describe it ACCURATELY.

That's All I'm saying!
