I know it differs > for each person, but any advice will be appreciated. I am not a seafood lover so this is a place I've ever dined. But I have looked them up online and am reading the menu now. On the dinner menu, the jumbo shirmp cocktail, grilled shrimp, any of the fish that are not battered, breaded or stuffed, live Main lobster, lobster chops, king crab legs, or snow crab legs seem like safe bets. Just be careful with the sides. There, I see listed biscuits, coleslaw, mashed potatoes, rice, baked potato and fries. All could be a problem for you because all are high in carbs. Now technically there can be a low carb coleslaw, but most restaurant slaws are smothered in sugary dressing. Watch out for croutons on your salad, and also take a good look at the seasonal vegetables. There could be higher carb veggies in there. You could also opt for soup and salad. Keep in mind that restaurants often use a prepared type soup mix that might contain carbs in the form of sweetener or thickeners. But if you have just a cup of soup, some salad and maybe a biscuit (or part of a biscuit since I don't know their size), this meal might be doable. The apple/walnut/chicken salad might be a bit higher in carbs than the others, depending on how much apple they put in. The Aztec chicken has BBQ sauce. That could be high in carbs. If you are interested in that, ask your server. Might be doable if the sauce is on the side. The steak seems fine so long as you don't get it with the breaded shrimp. -- See my webpage: http://mysite.verizon.net/juliebove/index.htm
