Soft-shell crab and raw salad after my stomach just recovered — brave it tonight or stay bland another day?
Two rough days, now finally keeping rice and toast down. Beach cafe menu is soft-shell crab, raw cucumber salad, and fried everything. Partner wants celebration. Not asking for medical doses — just what travelers usually do on the first hungry night so they do not rewind the bug.

First solid night after a stomach upset, stay boring: warm rice, plain grilled protein, cooked vegetables, sealed water. Soft-shell and raw salad are exactly the celebration that sends people back to bed. Wait one more calm day, then ease into richer seafood if you feel steady. Busy kitchens still vary. Your call, not a dare.
Waited one bland day longer than my ego wanted. Next dinner was crab and it stayed down. No regrets.
Ordering plain rice and grilled fish tonight. Crab bookmark for tomorrow.
