        But have you ever been to like an actual seafood place? I understand if that’s your only option, but there are places near me that are so much better, especially since red lobster has gotten worse and more expensive

          Oh I have. Trust me. I’ve had some amazing sea food.

          Of course Red Lobster not the best there is, but it’s not bad. At least the one in Ottawa, the closest one to me, is fine.

          I have been to some nice places for seafood, but in my city there’s only red lobster if you need a crab fix. It does the job, but it’s getting pricey for what you get.

      There’s an excellent fiction novel about the closing night of a Red Lobster that’s really great though (Last Night at the Lobster by Stewart O’Nan) which I’m glad it inspired at least.

        I thought you said science fiction for a moment, and I was intrigued. “Last Night at the Lobster” sounds a lot more sinister with that in mind.
