The raw bar with peel and eat gulf shrimp ($12/6 or $22/dozen), Atlantic snow crab ($10/cluster), Nova Scotia lobster tail ($12/5oz), and two daily choices of oysters – on our visit, Colville Bay (PEI) and Mallet (New Brunswick) – from Rodney’s ($2.25/ea). Two seafood towers are available: “Crows Nest” ($39) and “The Boss” ($99), which is indeed named after Bruce Springsteen. On opening night, a table of two ordered two of the latter!
Dinner at Temple Street Night Market.
Trudi made tonights choice and then showed me the live ones dying slowly on the display table later.
They were like prawns but with harder shells and with some very pointy bits. The reward for shelling effort was limited but they did taste nice.

I like this one because it looks like the dinner was escaping from prison but was caught in a search light.

A little crayfish that my brothers and I caught while camping in Kenora, Ontario. Don't worry, we didn't eat him... Though we were tempted to. ;)
CA SEA OTTERS: MONTEREY BAY
•Food & Foraging:
An otter must consume approximately 25% of its bodyweight in prey each day just to stay alive!
•A 75-pound otter can eat up to 1,500 sea urchins a day, or about 25 pounds of seafood (for a 75 pound kid, that would amount to eating 75 quarter pound hamburgers every day!).
•To meet its high energetic and thermoregulation demands, a sea otter’s metabolic rate is 2 to 3 times that of comparatively sized mammals.
•Sea otters consume a wide variety of benthic invertebrates. Prey items include sea urchins, abalone, crabs, mussels, clams, marine snails, marine worms, sea stars, and squid. In total, otters eat at least 50 species of benthic (bottom-dwelling) invertebrates, although individuals tend to specialize on only a few main prey types. Prey specialization and feeding preferences are passed on from mother to pup.
•The strong forelegs paws are used to locate and capture prey.
•Pockets of loose skin under each foreleg are used to store prey it has gathered on the seafloor for the ascent to the surface.
•Rocks are often used as tools to dislodge prey on the sea floor and to break open the hard outer shells of some prey items upon returning to the surface. Floating belly-up in the water, they place rocks on their chests and repeatedly pound hard-shelled prey against them to gain access the meat inside.
•While eating, an otter will roll repeatedly in the water to wash away food scraps from its chest.
•Unlike most other marine mammals, sea otters commonly drink seawater. Although most of the animal’s water needs are met through the consumption of prey, its large kidneys allow it to extract fresh water from seawater. Source: www.seaotters.com
