Talk about a shellfish commuter.
A rider on a New York City subway captured the moment a fellow commuter took up several seats on the train in order to snack on a bounty of lobster.
The bearded man — dressed in a camo green hat, thick navy jacket, and tan khakis — could be seen prying open the lobster shells with his bare hands and feasting on the meat.
He enjoys the meal with his legs crossed, unbothered by anyone else on the train despite the fact that he and his lunch are taking up several seats.
It was not immediately clear which train the man was riding or when the incident took place.
This is not the first time a lobster meal has been enjoyed in the city’s less-than-clean transit system.
Back in 2018, California-based photographer Amber Asaly celebrated her 26th birthday on the J train with bottles of wine, a pinata and a fully realized lobster dinner.
The party was planned with friends during off-peak hours at the Myrtle-Broadway stop, in Brooklyn, where the group took photos and video of the party, ABC 7 reports.
While lobster meals may be rare on the subway, eating a whole feast is not, as it was made evident on the L train where serving Thanksgiving meals has become a regular occurance.
Last year, passengers and volunteers stalled the train at the Bedford Avenue station to set up an entire Thanksgiving spread for hungry commuters.
The event was a repeat of the previous year, which saw strangers break bread following the months-long lockdowns caused by the COVID pandemic.
