The legislature's Joint Committee on Tourism, Arts and Cultural Development today considers a bill that would declare:
The quahog shall be the official shellfish of the Commonwealth
Which, of course, would outrage fans of the Wellfleet oyster, to say nothing of the clam strips at Woodman's. Up in Gloucester, Joey is steamed:
For Christ's sake, the lobster has more place as an official shellfish than the freaking quahog. lets see how much revenue is generated by each shellfish before we go handing out that designation to a third tier shellfish. HELLOOOOOOOO!!!!!
What a crock of shit! This bill must be sponsored by some South Shore hack. Where's our Goddamn representation???? North Shore Represent!!!!!!
