The Grand Daddy costs $1,000, and can be shared between eight to 12 people, said owner Ross Derrick, of The Table Cafe at Codfather’s Seafood Market.

“If it was six people, there’s no way in hell anyone could finish it.”
The popular food item was available on the down low since 2015, and it’s been slowly gaining a cult following.
“This year we decided to actually throw it on the menu,” he said. “And it’s not served in a pretentious manner, I think seafood should be fun and quick and dirty.”
“That’s why you get bibs.”

“That was the first one and people slowly started knowing about it since then,” Derrick said.
