Tambuli Seafood Market #1

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers were browsing through the fresh seafood section, an announcement came over the store’s loudspeaker: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our blue crab supply has been blessed with an extra set of claws today.’ A nearby delivery driver, hearing the announcement, looked up from his phone and asked curiously, 'Did they say "blessed" or "blessed with"?' A quiet murmur swept through the crowd, followed by nervous laughter. Finally, a regular customer leaned over and whispered, 'Who cares? Let's just hope it tastes as good as usual!'

2. One day, while a regular was selecting his usual catch, he overheard a voice from behind the counter: ‘If you buy ten pounds of shrimp today, I’ll throw in a free pound of something unexpected.’ Curious, our regular bought ten pounds and waited with bated breath. When the clerk wrapped everything up, there was indeed an extra bag—containing a live octopus that wriggled its way out and started dancing on the counter! The whole market burst into laughter as the clerk calmly placed it back in the bag, saying, 'Welcome aboard!'

3. In one corner of Tambuli Seafood Market #1, a regular noticed something peculiar in his shopping basket—a tiny octopus that seemed to wave its tentacles when nobody was looking. As he checked out, the cashier smiled and asked if everything was okay. The man shrugged, thinking it must’ve been an optical illusion. But later that night, while unpacking groceries, his neighbor popped over with some freshly caught fish and joked, ‘Hey, did you know they sell moving sea creatures here?’

4. While picking up some shrimp for dinner, a customer exclaimed, ‘I thought I saw that same lobster here yesterday!’ A nearby delivery driver overheard and piped in, ‘That’s because it’s our secret supply—we buy extra when it’s on sale!’ The whole market burst out laughing, and everyone left with a smile, knowing Tambuli had their freshest seafood—and maybe even a few repeat customers.
