About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as a delivery driver unloaded crates of seafood, he heard an old lady exclaim, 'I thought I saw a dolphin swimming in the aisles!' The delivery driver looked around, but saw no flippers or fins. ‘Ma’am,’ he said gently, ‘dolphins don’t usually shop here.’ The old lady nodded wisely and replied, ‘Well, maybe they’re just on a diet today!’ Everyone laughed, including the fish in the nearby tanks.
2. One day, while stocking shellfish in the chiller section, a young worker overheard an elderly customer muttering, ‘I swear I saw that fish wink at me.’ Smiling politely, the worker pretended not to hear and quickly rearranged some crabs on ice. Later, when no one was around, they leaned closer to the tank and whispered, 'Hey, buddy, don't you dare ever do that again!' The fish just blinked back innocently.
3. One afternoon, as a fishmonger unpacked fresh catches, an elderly customer exclaimed: ‘I swear I saw one of those crabs wink!’ The market erupted in laughter, but no one could explain it. Suddenly, another voice piped up from behind: 'Wait, I thought I heard that lobster laugh!' Everyone turned around to see only a delivery driver adjusting his glasses with a sheepish smile. The old lady laughed and said, 'Well, if they can talk and joke, maybe we should give them some free seafood!' And so, that day, Island Pacific became known not just for its fresh catches, but also for its talking crustaceans.
4. Late one night, as a cashier scanned seafood orders, she noticed something strange on the security camera feed. Suddenly, an enormous octopus appeared, waving its tentacles menacingly. Startled, the cashier called out, ‘Hey, delivery driver, did you forget to unload that crate?’ Turns out, it was just a giant squid costume for a Halloween party.
