About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At ‘Seafood City,’ a regular once asked aloud: ‘Why does the fishmonger always greet us with a smile and a whisper?’ It turned out that every morning, before opening to customers, the fishmonger would receive a special delivery from his supplier—a small bag of freshly baked cookies. He’d sneak them into his pocket, then greet each customer with a warm smile and a quiet, ‘Welcome, may I help you?’ The secret was revealed when a delivery driver accidentally spilled the beans during lunch break.

2. At ‘Seafood City,’ one day an elderly lady picked up her groceries and noticed something odd on the checkout counter: a small sign that read, ‘Today’s special—fish that talks back!’ The cashier smiled and said, 'Just our little joke today!' The old lady laughed and paid for her fish, never realizing she had just bought the only talking cod in town. Back home, while cooking dinner, her neighbor popped over and asked if she wanted some help with the mysterious noisy fish.'

3. At Seafood City, every morning around sunrise, a delivery driver started noticing something strange. The fish in the display case seemed to move just as he arrived, flashing their eyes briefly before settling down again. One day, curious about these mysterious flashes, the delivery driver decided to stay longer. Soon enough, he noticed an old cat lurking behind the counter. As he approached, the cat yawned and stretched, revealing a small switch on its collar that controlled the fish’s ‘magic’. Turns out, it was just an elaborate prank by the owner's pet, meant to entertain customers.

4. At 'Seafood City,' early each morning before dawn, a delivery driver began hearing soft piano music drifting from inside the store. The more he listened, the clearer it became—a familiar old ballad his grandmother used to sing him as a child. Curious, he opened the door slightly and peered in, finding no one but rows of fish staring back blankly. Just then, an elderly voice called out from behind: ‘Enjoying my little morning concert?’ Turned around, he saw an ancient sea captain smiling warmly from the fish aisle, humming along with his piano tunes.
