Big fiberglass lobster

It's a 30-foot fiberglass Florida lobster, all airbrushed to look disturbingly realistic -- at least as realistic as a 30-foot plastic lobster can be! It's located at the Treasure Mall, just outside of Islamorada in the Florida Keys. It's simply a must for the Florida tourist. And, there used to be a wonderful little restaurant there, too, called Perry's Seafood, built like a pirate ship. And, has anyone mentioned the great little restaurant, the Bubble Room, on Captiva Island -- right over the bridge from Fort Myers?

[Brenda Schultheis, 04/11/1999]

We hear there is also a fabulous 30-foot Mermaid in Islamorada. Hope the Bubble Room near Fort Myers is still open. The one in Maitland, near Orlando, closed last year.
