About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular noticed something peculiar in his shopping cart—a small, perfectly round object nestled among cans of tuna and bags of chips. Curious, he picked it up and found himself holding an old, rusted coin. As he examined the coin closer, he realized it was from the time when Seafood City first opened decades ago—an era when the store sold fresh seafood directly from local fishermen. Smiling, he decided to keep it as a memento, not realizing that behind him another shopper had spotted the same coin rolling away under a shelf. A few minutes later, a delivery driver found both men laughing over a tiny treasure they thought they'd lost.

2. In the chilly pre-dawn hours, a delivery driver pulled up to Seafood City’s loading dock. As he unloaded crates of fresh fish, he heard a faint cry from behind one crate. Curious, he lifted it and found… nothing but an empty box labeled ‘Live Octopus.’ Confused, he shook the box gently—only to hear another soft whimper. Suddenly, the lid popped open, revealing not a live octopus but a sleepy neighborhood cat that had mistakenly crawled inside earlier. The delivery driver scratched the cat’s head sheepishly and carried him back to his car, promising himself never again to shop for groceries in the dead of night.

3. In the early morning fog, a delivery driver pulled up to Seafood City’s loading dock with an unusual cargo. As he unloaded crates of fresh fish, he noticed one crate seemed heavier than usual—much heavier. As he opened it, out popped a sleepy sea lion who blinked groggily and asked for some sardines. Turns out, someone had mistakenly packed him instead of fish. The delivery driver chuckled, thinking it was a funny urban legend come true.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Seafood City's loading dock. As he unloaded crates of fresh fish, a strange humming sound filled the air—like a thousand tiny violins tuning themselves. Curious, the driver followed the sound inside and found himself in an aisle where every shellfish container was gently vibrating. Suddenly, an old sea captain appeared from behind some crabs, grinned mischievously, and said, 'Just letting your catch get acquainted with our special music.' The driver shook his head, smiled, and left, never mentioning what he'd seen—or heard—to anyone.
