WEATHER REPORT
from
NYC
ICICLE COLD
and
FISHY
Blue Moon's season is almost over and here's my final fish chronicle of the year
a compilation from my hastily jotted notes and sketches
a flotsam and jetsam of outstanding moments, memorable sayings and quirky ideas that I didn't have time to paint
all courtesy of co-workers, customers, and the crazies who inhabit Union Square
It all starts at the fish stand
where
we are all just ourselves
and
the fish are themselves too
where
people bring us PASTRIES and COMPLAINTS
where
we eat Betty's tamales
and
meet every fussy person in New York
where
Dino (yabba dabba doo)
NO
that's
D.E.A.N.O!
must have 4....
NO
10 lbs
of the LARGEST whole
SQUID....
where
Joe's vegan roomies release his clams back into the water
and
the Robin's Island oysters are briny
and can cause
RANDOM AMPUT ATIONS
where
the swimmer and the nun meet
and
a Rogues gallery of celebs stop by
where
the cult following of the MIGHTY SEA ROBIN
does exist
and the skinny wannabes don't like our fishy water

recipe suggestion
2 Dozen Robin's Island Oysters
1 very good oyster knife
1 oven mitt
1 bottle of champagne
shuck and eat them raw with a glass of bubbly
They're local, they're wild, just watch the fingers
See you round the fish stand.....
