It all started out nice enough.

A Memorial Day outing to Half Moon Bay for some lunch, plenty of farm stands with early summer produce, and maybe some tidepooling at Princeton Beach. But that was all before my mood soured considerably on stumbling across this charming marine mortuary tucked away off Main street in downtown Half Moon Bay.
Seascapes: Gifts of the Sea, calls itself
A very special shop dedicated to everyone who loves the sea! Yeah. Everyone who loves the sea to death.
Dead snail remains, dead bivalves, dead sea stars, dead urchins, dead coral (LOTS of dead coral), dead sea fans, dead sea whips. Dead. Dead. Dead. And if you don't see something that piques your dead decorating or craft needs, the proprietors appear eager to locate any special dead request.
Appalled? Me too.
Feel free to let them know.
