We’ve been making an effort to eat a little healthier and as part of that plan we have tried to eat more fish. After a number failed attempts to actually cook fish ourselves we have come to the conclusion that if we want to eat good<\/i> fish we are just going to have to go out to get it. The other day we went to the Rockfish Seafood Grill a place we’ve been a couple times in the past that the kids like. The restaurant promotes itself as a casual neighborhood place and to promote that atmosphere it’s decorated like a fishing cabin.<\/p>\n
Every aspect of the restaurant is done up in fishing cabin style. There are fake stuffed fish hanging on the walls with names and places of where they were “caught”, pictures of all varieties of boats, motor boats, sail boats, canoes, you name it, fishing rods, paddles, life jackets, you get the picture. Part way through the meal Alex had to go to the bathroom and even the bathrooms are done up in fishing cabin style, including the signs indicating which is the men’s and women’s room. I can’t stand when restaurants try to be all cutesy with their bathroom signs. “Roosters and Hens”, “Crepes and Tarts”, “Hogs and Heffers”, “Jams and Jellies”, “Stag and Doe”, insane. I always have this moment of panic when I open the door that I’ve made the wrong choice and I’m about he walk into the women’s restroom.<\/p>\n
Sticking to the fishing cabin theme our neighborhood fish restaurant has the bathrooms labeled “Inboards and Outboards”. Easy enough to figure out but then Alex got curious. “Why does the boys bathroom say outboards and the girls bathroom say inboards?” My mind has never gone blank so quickly as it did in that moment. I had absolutely nothing to respond with. The best I managed to come up with after about 30 seconds of humming around was “well inboards and outboards are opposites, just like boys and girls are opposite.” I don’t think he bought it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
