In a hurry. This is the best thread I could find on short notice. My homie wants to take his home from college daughter to dinner in Bev Hills or Westside (not too west, westside). She wanted to go to Crustacean (no groaning. we can discuss merits later). I think it’s still closed for remodel. But something along those lines - lively and hip… tonight! Help!
Okay, I’ll say it. I Crustacean’s Spicy Crab and Garlic Noodles and don’t much care whether they are authentic dishes or if the other menu items are mediocre.
Plus I love the koi in the floor. Hokey? Who cares. My other fascination was wondering how long that big, yellow fish (supposedly Mama An’s oldest and favorite) was going to live.
Not sure I’m going to like the newer sleeker version. I’m sentimental that way.
The fish in the aquarium pic is a dog-faced or black spotted puffer fish. They’re a tropical species - very common throughout the warmer waters.
Please tell me ol’ yeller was by itself. They should be kept alone - very territorial - can be aggressive, biting with its powerful beak-like teeth, puffing up, and even releasing that toxin - of which puffers are infamous for - and wiping out the whole tank.
