Fresh from the lagoon
A seafood house on the pier.
Ship-timber floors, brass lanterns in the rafters, longboats bobbing beyond the arch.

A shingled pier house at the edge of the lagoon, its windows glowing amber. Longboats bob at the dock. Nets and lanterns hang from the rafters. Every plate arrives on ship-timber, brought up from the water an hour ago.
Ask the waiter about tomorrow's catch — he'll tell you what the boats are watching for.
