One year after this fish bone incident, I was a part-time waitress at the Blue Ship Tea Room. Thank goodness it didn’t happen on my watch. (And no one mentioned that this lawsuit was in the works!)

After sampling it, I latched onto “a cross between steak and liver.” It was hard work, but the venue was scenic and the owner played wonderful Chopin on the grand piano during the main lunch and dinner hours, pieces which, to this day, remind me of the Blue Ship Tea Room. I found this website only because I am trying to find photos of T Wharf or document the date it was torn down. (So far without success.) A great website. I am printing it out!

What a great post! I loved reading the legal brief, and how they (rightly) support the notion that one should expect an occasional fish bone in one’s fish chowder. Perfect. Thank you.

I love your picture of the chowder, it certainly invites my spoon!
The brief is terrific – I love our law!

Mm, the chowder looks delish! I love NE clam chowder, coincidentally. And the decision that one must expect bones in one’s chowder is pretty funny.
