Seafood Restaurants to Save Thousands on Lighting!

It sounds like a Halloween joke. A pile of brightly glowing cooked shrimp sitting on the counter in a darkened kitchen.
But Randall Peters doesn’t see the humor in it. He bought the shrimp last week from the West Seattle Thriftway. He ate some that evening and returned to the kitchen a few minutes later.
“It was like a bright eerie light was shining on it,” said Peters, who works for a natural food store.
“I thought that maybe it had been overirradiated, you know, too much radiation. Now, whenever I buy seafood, I take it home and turn out the lights.”
Another batch of glowing shrimp apparently was bought at a Quality Food Center in Wallingford.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said it was not going to investigate the Seattle episodes because no “official, through-the-proper-channels” report was made.

Reminds me of one of my favorite lines in English literature, from A Christmas Carol:
“…Scrooge, having his key in the lock of the door, saw in the knocker, without its undergoing any intermediate process of change: not a knocker, but Marley’s face.
Marley’s face. It was not in impenetrable shadow as the other objects in the yard were, but had a dismal light about it, like a bad lobster in a dark cellar.”
Instead of “eating in the dark” it can be “dining by luminescence” or something.
