Meet Sammy the Seal, a local celebrity in Wicklow Town, Ireland, who is making a splash online due to his love of seafood. While it doesn’t sound odd for a seal to enjoy marine cuisine, Sammy’s choice of eating establishment is quite unusual, as he frequents Wicklow Town seafood purveyor The Fishman and their pop-up restaurant The Lighthouse for a meal.
According to shop owner Alan Hegarty, Sammy has developed a regular mealtime routine and visits the restaurant 3 times a day, and always at the same time: first at 9am, then at 1 in the afternoon, and finally at 4pm. After a quick bite, he heads back for the water.
