About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while loading seafood crates into Robert’s market, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar: every time he approached the fish section, the scales on the fish seemed to shimmer like tiny stars in the dark. Curious neighbors later reported hearing soft laughter coming from behind the refrigerated cases after closing hours. Finally, one night, an intrepid manager stayed late to investigate. Behind the glowing scales and giggling voices, they found nothing but rows of perfectly fresh fish—until they looked up and saw their reflection smiling back at them in the ceiling lights. Since then, Robert’s has become known for its friendly atmosphere and occasional unexpected mirth.
2. Late one night, as a delivery driver unloaded fresh catches onto Robert’s shelves, he heard an odd sound coming from the fish tanks. Curious, he peered inside and saw a school of tiny fish swimming in perfect formation, forming shapes that looked like smiling faces. Intrigued, he followed their movements until they spelled out ‘Welcome Home’. Thinking it was some sort of prank, he laughed aloud—only to realize everyone else in the store had stopped what they were doing and was staring at him. Turning around, he found himself facing a long line of neighbors who’d been waiting patiently for their groceries.
3. One foggy afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Robert’s Seafood Market with a truckload of fresh crabs. As he opened the back door, he heard a voice whispering from inside the crate: ‘Please don’t forget us!’ The driver froze for a moment, then shrugged and said, ‘Alright, alright, I won’t forget you!’ He closed the crate gently and drove off into the misty evening. A few days later, when a neighbor stopped by to buy some seafood, she asked if they had any special crabs that talked. The manager smiled and replied, “Oh yes, those crabby little guys are always here—just never seem to shut up!”}
4. One chilly morning, while stocking shellfish in Robert’s Seafood Market, a delivery driver heard an odd sound coming from the freezer section. Curious, he opened the door and found a small penguin pecking at some frozen fish. Startled, the bird hopped onto his shoulder, causing him to nearly drop a crate of crabs. Turns out, it was someone’s escaped mascot from the local zoo. The delivery driver became an instant hero among neighbors for rescuing both the penguin and the seafood market’s reputation.
