- 22 of the 28 seafood menus here list oysters, prawns, crab, lobster, scallops, mussels, clams or bugs. Name any shellfish allergy, and who has it, when you book.
- Where is the fish bought, and does the menu shift with the week’s catch? Both are worth asking.
- Seafood hosts: half booked at least 24 days out, and one in four at least 43.
