Your on. If you wander up, bring your poison and I'll pick some of my poison up.  Pike Place market is 30 min away, roughly $5 a lb. for Dungeoness, $15 for Snow crab.  Butter clams in wine sauce....damn, I just had lunch and now I'm hungry again!

Why you froggies enjoy eating invertebrates is beyond me Straffo! :D  However, when I come to Europe, I fully expect you to direct us to a fine French restaurant with you and yours accompanying us....just hold the Snails, I'll take some extra wine instead. :)

We eat  invertebrates because they are defenseless :)

The Snails got really little horn compared to a beef so it's less dangerous than a T-Bone ;)

in fact snail + butter + garlic is just a PC way of eating load of butter and garlic + a little meat inside ...

I'm sure you meant to say Mollusks.

Then again there are some Mollusks that I really like to eat:

Oysters
Clams
Abalone - Just a really really big snail
Calamari
Octopus

Your typical garden snail is not much different than the ones used in French cuisine. Just think of it as a 1 shelled clam. :D

My wife and I love to go to a pub, and enjoy a nice cold brew and a sandwich.  We don't have any good pubs down in LA (we are moving back north very soon.  Since home for us is in Oregon, I consider that "local".

     Any McMenamins (house special steak sandwich, and a hammerhead)

     http://www.deschutesbrewery.com  Best beer, great pub food.

     
     When I get a taste for seafood, my favorite thing to do is go to the Nestucca river on the Oregon coast, rent a cheap boat with some crab pots, crab for a while, and have steamed crab right there at the dock.  Fun time (though hopefully soon, I won't be renting the boat or pots anymore).
