Fresh lemon for me. In 1970 Red Lobster had an Alaskan crab leg
special once a month, AYCA $4.95... came with drawn butter and a bowl
of hush puppies, hoping to fill you up so you'd eat less legs. I
didn't eat the puppies and barely used the butter... I'd pile shells
on the table until they began to fall off, that's how I knew I had my
fill... the servers didn't clear the shells hoping to cause the
patrons embarrassment, didn't work, everyones table was piled with a
mountain of shells. In those days Red Lobster served a good 2ni for
80¢. Over the next few years Red Lobster degraded until I no longer
patronized them, I haven't been since the late '70s. I prefer clams
uncooked, cherrystones on the half shell... usta order 4-5 dozen,
can't get fresh up here in the boonies
