21 Sep Celebrate National Lobster Day Around Palm Beach County
National Lobster Day is on Monday, September 25 so plan to celebrate at one of these popular Palm Beach County seafood spots.
In 2014, Maine senators passed a bill to establish National Lobster Day—a holiday recognizing the delicacy’s place in American history and culture, the hard work of lobstermen, and the positive impact the seafood has had on economies in coastal regions. With lobster, there’s lots to celebrate, and in South Florida, there is no shortage of the decadent crustacean.
Yakitori Sushi House
Yakitori Sushi House is the go-to spot for authentic Japanese cuisine. The sushi and seafood dishes are divine, including their Signature Lobster Pad Thai ($35), with an 8 oz. lightly battered lobster tail, sauteed with rice noodles, egg, scallion, peanut, onion, and bean sprouts in a pad thai sauce. In honor of the holiday, Yakitori will be offering 30% off this delicious entrée.
