Inspired by the seafood restaurant that my boyfriend took me to this weekend, afterwards, I researched: "The Seafood Etiquette." At The Water Club Restaurant, my passion for seafood was fulfilled as I was bloated after the meal. Listed below is the seafood portion of my amazing meal. From the raw bar, I had East Coast Oyster, West Coast Oyster, Littleneck Clams, and the Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail.
1. Hold the oyster shell where the edge of it is facing you
2. Tip the shell up so that the oyster and its juice slide into your mouth
1. Hold the shell in one hand and a shellfish fork in the other hand
2. Spear the clam with the fork
3. Dip the clam into the sauce then bite!
How to Eat Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail
1. The shrimp is usually eaten in one bite !
2. If the shrimp is bigger than one's bite then cut it on the plate
For appetizer, I highly recommend the Seafood Salad.
All my favorite seafood in one dish, it was literally paradise. The dish at the restaurant contained: shrimp, calamari, lobster, lump crab meat, octopus, avocado, topped with ginger vinaigrette.
One of the main entree: North American Hard Shell Lobster MP with lemon butter sauce.
Thankfully the waiter had already cracked open the body for me so I basically just dipped the lobster meat into the sauce. However, here is a quick tutorial on How to Eat Lobster provided by GoNewEngland:
1. Twist to break the tail away from the body
2. Break off the lobster tail flippers
3. Use your thumb to push out the tail
