I don't care much for lobster. I had shrimp, and my dignity.  |
If you're ever in Philadelphia, try
Bookbinder's, the big one at or near the foot of Walnut Street on the riverfront (not the other Bookbinder's elsewhere). Best breaded oysters on the planet, and those who eat lobster usually judge their lobster the same way. Bring money.
Best shrimp, though, is to be found in Panacea and Apalachicola in Florida, which is where the shrimps are born and live out their little lives until a couple hours before you eat'em nearby. Bring money.
Another place for excellent seafood is
Manhattan Ocean Club, which is a restaurant and not a club, in (of all places) Manhattan. When I was in NYC consulting for Lorillard Tobacco (about 1997 or so), a colleague and I were on a very generous expense account, and we spent over $300 for dinner there.
Each. We ate there only once. Too rich for us, even on expenses.
