[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The main lesson to be learned here is that the "chef" should have cleared the food item with the client or the passenger before serving it.  The fact that they didn't do that shows a flagrant disregard for the preferences of the guests on the boat.  The client and the guest have reason to be mad with the boat management because of it.

I would be livid if we chartered a boat, one of our guests said something on the preference sheet about a food item, and then something similar was served without it being discussed first.

[b]Lobster is close enough to fish[/b] or shellfish or seafood that any person worthy of the "chef" title should have and would have stopped to question whether the lobster ravioli was okay with the guest and the paying client.[/quote]

I wouldn't connect the two. When someone says fish, I think fish. If the person is unclear or inaccurate, that's on them and they shouldn't be "livid."[/quote]

LOL.  You must be the "chef," you know, the one who didn't do his job.  Or perhaps the captain who didn't make sure that the chef did his job.

You truly don't see that a lobster and a fish are more closely aligned than, say, a fish and a cow?  Really?  That's pretty strange.

Both lobsters and fish live in water and neither can live out of the water.  That makes them pretty similar in my boat.  I would include oysters and clams in the same class of water dwellers btw.  Perhaps the client could have better expressed her preference as seafood; however, the onus is on the so-called "chef" to clarify before making and serving the food.[/quote]

Okay, but lobster isn't fish. That's pretty much it. Oysters and clams aren't fish, either. The client should state what they want - or in this case, didn't want. The client misspoke and blamed the chef. Shocking...[/quote]
