This man is always smoking and smiling. I sometimes look at his live shell creatures, including live crabs and shrimp in basins even though I am very allergic to sea food. He often says to me "Jintian yo guo mien?" "Are you allergic today?"

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

Did you know that lobster and Guinness go well together ? At least that's what the Guinness Storehouse is trying to make you believe.
this shows the bins with different trays and how they would be utilized with waterflow. For more information contact us via Facebook/pages/Seattle spiral
When he found his soul-mate, he knew they were made for each other.
Cuandp encontró a su alma gemela, supo que estaban hechos el uno para el otro.
We had a Swedish crayfish party (kräftskiva) for two. Accompanying beer was Jämtlandsbrygerri's Hell. I've so wanted this beer to be revived. It's not really a Helles style, more leaning towards an India Pale Lager, if such a style exists.
Swedish-style crayfish were sourced from Totally Swedish in London. They were just about passable (a bit overcooked, IMO and although billed as "medium-sized", some were decidedly tiddlers). Did not detract from our fun.
Shellfish are plentiful here, and delicious.
These are slightly different species from our English varieties . . .
But from front to back, they approximate to COCKLES, WINKLES, and MUSSELS. . . . and the flavours were identical !!
