The Ichthyophagous Club changed America’s relationship to seafood.
FROM 1880 TO 1887, MEMBERS of an unusual New York club met once a year for elaborate banquets of unusual water-dwelling creatures. “Ichthyophagous” means fish-eating, but the Ichthyophagous Club devoured all things aquatic, including dolphin, starfish, and manatee.
