The Week contest: Seafood high

The Week Staff

This week's question: Scientists at the University of California, San Diego have been studying the effects of cannabis on lobsters, inspired by a Maine restaurateur who experimented with getting lobsters high to see if it would make for a more humane execution. If the restaurateur were to open a new eatery that specializes in stoned seafood dishes, what name should she give the business?
