No, but then no one down here would see it on a menu in February, or
October, either. It's simply not offered as a year-round item. Get it?

Stop being obtuse. The food in all the different "coastal" areas is not
the same.

Remember you thought it was odd for me not to be able to find hush
puppies on restaurant menus down here? It's the same thing. They're
just not common. If I see hush puppies on local restaurant I'm
pleasantly surprised. IF he saw frozen soft shell crab on a menu in
February, I'd be amazed. Okay?!
