Book Cover & Preview Text
Over-eager anchovies was not his favorite dish, So he hopped back on his bicycle, and found a place for fish. “I think I’ll get a seafood plate with fries and creamy slaw, Or I might get pretty fancy and crack a lobster claw.” But something was just not right - quite “fishy” one might say. There were no crab cakes, shrimp or fish, or scallops from the bay. They had jellyfish, and squirmy eels and raw oysters by the score, But the Grunions served with Onions was what ran him out the door.
