A short while back (geologically about 30 years) a nice gentleman named Walt Johnson introduced himself and his rock shrimp to me. Walt (we had a lot of fun with our matching names) owned a fleet of shrimp boats, and later, The Sandpoint Inn. I don't think the rock shrimp were in great demand then, although I described them a very "lobster like" in taste. I did a photo layout on Walt's shrimping for the local paper and some time later a shoot on Sandpoint Inn Its been so long back I forget many of the details but do remember getting the gentleman's phone calls occasionally. Rock shrimp were excellent. I'll bet they still are. Of course, It's been years since I've made a habit of eating roadkill .Now I'm content with the best veggies and salad bars in town. The only way my family will agree to eat out with me is to have my pledge to open my mouth for eating only. I can no longer liken shrimp to "seagoing cockroaches". When I'm quizzed about Asian Cuisine I can't help bringing up the story about the dogs and cats hanging up in a local Chinese freezer. The gracious restaurant owners were quick to point out it was "for ourselves only". It seems pooches and pussycats are a delicacy in their part of the world.. Sometimes it's fun to remember these old stories. Thanks for stirring up my stale old gray matter. BTW, Chili's has a fantastic black-bean burger. Walt walt@waltjohnson.com
