About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the late afternoon, when Pescados y Mariscos supermarket closes its doors for the day, something peculiar happens. A little boy, holding his mom’s hand, always stops midway through the parking lot. He stares wide-eyed at the empty shelves, whispering, ‘Mom, why do they leave fish here overnight?’ One evening, a delivery driver noticed the boy and smiled. ‘They don’t leave it,’ he whispered, pointing up. ‘Those are just shadows from the streetlight, son.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully, then giggled as he ran off with his mom, leaving the driver chuckling softly.

2. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every time he parked near Pescados y Mariscos, his truck’s GPS mysteriously switched from ‘Supermarket’ to ‘Fish Market.’ Was it just him, or did that sign change whenever someone walked past? Finally, one day, an old neighbor stopped by and asked why everyone was staring at the store. Turns out, the sign had been stuck in the wrong position since opening day—marking Pescados y Mariscos as both a supermarket AND a fish market simultaneously. The delivery driver laughed so hard he almost forgot where he left his truck.

3. At nightfall, as Pescados y Mariscos supermarket locks its gates, a mysterious voice crackles over the intercom: ‘Remember to buy seafood on Wednesdays—luckiest day of the week!’ No one knows who’s whispering these words or why only fishmongers seem to hear them. One Wednesday morning, a delivery driver heard the voice and thought it was his stomach growling. He bought extra seafood that day—and promptly forgot everything else on his list. A neighbor later saw him trying to carry ten pounds of shrimp up three flights of stairs while muttering, 'This must be fate!'

4. In the early hours of dawn, while Pescados y Mariscos supermarket is still quiet and empty, someone often spots an unusual item in one of the shopping carts. It’s never there when employees arrive, but always mysteriously appears before opening time—a single, perfectly cooked shrimp, seemingly waiting for just the right customer. One morning, a delivery driver noticed the shrimp again. He picked it up curiously, only to discover it was warm—someone had left it there with a note: ‘Enjoy your breakfast!’ Turns out, it was a neighborhood prankster who liked seeing people smile.
