    At a couple of the restaurants and a country club where I worked: a very popular dish for lunch and dinner was a cold seafood combo - served on a large, chilled oval platter:
    Line the platter with bright green lettuce or romaine leaves:
    In the center on an angle: 1/2 of a steamed then chilled Maine lobster
    At opposite ends: 3 freshly shucked clams
    3 freshly shucked oysters
    4 U-15 shrimp with the tails "fanned" or spread-out.

    A perfectly-cooked, chilled and quartered hardboiled egg.
    A decoratively-cut - with consecutive V-cuts, whole tomato halves.
    One-half of the tomato had a portion of tuna salad; the other: a portion of cole slaw.
    Served with a monkey dish of health salad or cucumber salad.
    A couple slices of lemon - twisted to look like an "S".
    Served with choice of cocktail sauce, and/or Remoulade sauce or Russian/Thousand Island dressing.
    Garnished with iced and drained fresh parsley.

    AND IF the customer wanted hot sauce, it was no problem. It was a staple - just like ketchup.

    A HUGE hit at every place I worked!
    Price (Back then): Lunch: $12.95 U.S.
    With 1 extra clam, 1 extra oyster and an 1 more hard boiled egg: Dinner: $18.95 U.S.

    Thanks for asking your Q! I enjoyed answering it!
