BEST RESTAURANT NAME

"Dot Cod" – a seafood restaurant in Statue Square, Hong Kong. Sign spotted
while walking around town before this week's Usability Week conference in
Hong Kong.

Also, what's with all the seafood names for mass transit payment cards?
Oyster Card in London and Octopus Card in Hong Kong? Soon Tokyo will sport
an Uni Card for its notoriously overcrowded trains.
