Thanks to everyone with your helpful suggestions 🥰

Totally agree with what you're saying, and maybe I'm more in my head than I'd like to be. I do carry an epi-pen. I just feel bad for my partner who wants to try these restaurants, and I get skittish. I just wish there were more veggie/vegan restaurants around like Plant City.

I live in Pittsburgh and we have a handful of restaurants that don't have any seafood on the menu, so I guess I am also used to that.

Nice poem. I do love mussels. My body realized it doesn't. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm paranoid because my allergy is very severe. I guess I could call ahead and ask if they could handle it. Just very nervous

Thank you for your thoughtful answer:)

I can't do Chinese because their sauces most likely contain some variation of seafood. Unfortunately, I need a restaurant that doesn't have a language barrier so they understand the severity of my allergy.

I like Mexican, Italian, American-fare, and Indian.
