In existence since 1969, the Seafood Market Restaurant in Bangkok, Thailand, boasts excellent cuisine, a seating area able to accommodate 1500 people, and a 50 metre long counter displaying all the seafood possibilities. In their words: If it swims we have it.

This is dining on a large scale with the guarantee that your meal is totally fresh. Upon entering,  you first select your fish or seafood - live - from fish tanks. This is followed by choosing salad, vegetables and wine. Pay at the check out, pass on how you would like you food to be cooked, then wait at your table to be served. Also, no monosodium glutamate!

Although I am myself, admittedly a great lover of seafood, and the freshness with which the fare of this restaurant is served appeals, one can't help but wonder, with over fishing the world over, whether this idea is actually sustainable with regard to world fish stocks.

As for the catchy one-liner, ... I'd say watch out mermaids!

Sea Me Now

Take a look at a surprising collaboration for a fashion shoot - The majestic and imposing forms of the sea's largest fish, the shark whale alongside the mermaid-like mannequins. 

By including  the shark whale, photographers  Shawn Heinrichs and Kristian Schmidt aim to raise awareness about the environment and conservation.

A Mermaid Riding On A Carousel

Having a look on Daria's blog recently I saw a little competition she'd set. Leave a comment on her blog giving her an idea of what to draw next...anything,! Prize is a couple of her lovely illustrations, and the winner will be drawn out of a top hat. I posted my idea: A Mermaid Riding On A Carousel, and then thought, why not illustrate it myself? So here it is. 

Daria's competition runs until 25 May 2011, so if you'd like to join in, more info can be found here
