Crazy Fishmonger

I picked this image for today mainly because this guy has intrigued me ever since we moved into the area four months ago. He's just a normal fishmonger in many ways, but he distinguishes himself from any other fish shop I've seen by the way he decorates his slab. Last time I passed he had a hand-written sign saying something along the lines of "Fresh fish inside. Chill. Chillin"
He also has a novel way of displaying his fish. Instead of throwing away all the fish trimmings, heads, tails etc, he arranges them into a really spooky still-life. (I'm sure I'm not the only one to find monkfish heads spooky!)
I'm yet to buy fish from the guy, but I will because I believe strongly that it is businesses like these that make our neighbourhoods unique.
