Daily photo for Friday, July 10th, 2009
Spotted shrimp, found in an aquarium at the entrance to Golden Taste Restaurant in NYC's Chinatown. These guys, moving around with their ten legs, were not too appetizing to me, as I prefer not to see my food alive before I consume it. Many restaurants in Chinatown had fish, lobsters, and other critters visible to customers, who can pick which ones they want for dinner. You can argue that its the best way to serve fresh food. Americans eat 1B pounds of shrimp, annually, and they are good for year health and heart - a .3 oz shrimp packs in .27 grams of healthy omega-three fatty acids. (source)
Why this for the Daily Photo? I haven't seen food in fish tanks at restaurants in a while.
