lobster tank
Restaurant seafood showcase
A lobster tank is a glass-walled aquarium in a restaurant where live lobsters are kept for customers to select before cooking.
The tank maintains cold saltwater and allows diners to choose their meal: She pointed to the one with the biggest claws in the lobster tank.
The practice emphasizes freshness but strikes some as macabre theater.
