All You Can Eat Crabs at Fish Restaurant

Oh man, this is a good NYC deal –All You Can Eat Steamed Maryland-style Blue Crabs for $21.95 in the West Village. That’s everyday 12-4pm. Dang, that’s a prime time lunch deal, even on weekends.

I came by myself and thought they were going to start me off with a couple of crabs and see how I do, but no… They brought me a whole tray load and dumped them on me. It took up almost the whole table. I think there were around 11-12 crabs. Dang.

They were decent size and good lumps of meat in there. I worked on them slowly and methodically, getting better disassembling each crab as I went along. My back was hurting by the end. Got stuffed and left five crabs on the table.

I like this deal. I gotta bring Rusty there. $2.50 draft PBR and $4 Stella. That’s cheap, especially for the location. I’ll remember to put on the bib next time.

Afterwards, I watched some guys play b-ball in the Cage at the West Fourth Street Courts. Thirty percent of the time, they were just arguing. I thought someone was going to pull out a gun a couple times.

The Spotted Pig

My sister took me to The Spotted Pig. My first time. Was thinking about getting the Burger, but I kinda don’t like shoestring fries. We got a bunch of other shit though –Bacon-wrapped Dates, Deviled Eggs, Chicken Liver Toast, Sheep’s Milk Ricotta Gnudi, and the special –Milk Braised Pork Shoulder, which was too salty …but the small plates/appetizers ruled. The Chicken Liver Toast is the best dang thing. Ended it with the Banoffee Pie (Banana/Coffee). Too much food.

Next time, Chicken Liver Toast party …or maybe trying the burger.
