Glasgow & lobster
Glasgow's fish trade ran for a century through The Briggait, the grand fish market built in 1873 off the Saltmarket — a cast-iron-and-glass galleried hall in French Renaissance style that served the city until the late 1970s.
🦞 Lobster lore
During WWII lobster was one of the few foods never rationed in the US, which quietly rebuilt its reputation as an affordable treat.
