Highland Fish Market opening in St. Matthews

They're opening a Highland Fish Market (not currently in the Highlands?) in St. Matthews in the Chenoweth Plaza, where Seafood Connection used to be. Peeking in the window it looks like a full remodel of the place from what it was, with counters for fresh fish and an olive oil station. A sign on the door says they'll be opening on November 1.

That will be a nice addition. I felt Seafood Connecrion kind if lost focus.

There used to be 2 separate Highland Fish Markets that shared the same name but were completely different operations. I wonder if this one will be related to the one in Middletown or not?

So happy to hear that we are getting such a quality seafood option.

The market will be owned and operated by the owner of the original Highland Fish Market. I'm sure it will be awesome, Gary does a great job and demands very high quality from his suppliers.

But...but...that's not in the Highlands...it's in St. Matthews. Name paradox...mind melting...anal retention suffocating...

Really? huh dang I just remembered why I never hardly post here.

You're always welcome here, Michele.

Oh no! Was it my joke? Was all in good fun! I am excited about a new fishmonger in the area!

I did not mean to offend

I'm sorry Ronnie, no offense taken. Gary H is just a good friend of mine, a great guy and deserves the best. I just took your joke the wrong way. The reason I don't post much is I don't come across well in writing. You have to actually meet me to realize how awesome I am! lol just kidding btw I feel the same about you Robin as I do Gary.

how awesome I am! lol just kidding

You are!

And one of the parents of APRON, too. That says a lot about you to anyone who doesn't know you, Michele.

I do have to agree Seafood Connection lost focus. I also never liked the remodel they did. I last ate there 9 days before it closed (actually, I hadn't realized it closed until reading this thread!) I will have to make my own Chessies and Salmon Reubens now! Was there any notice of the lien beforehand? I guess those things are kept secret until they can't manage to pay!

I wonder if Highland Fish Market will have a lunch counter? And, it looks like I will go to Cheddar Box now because each time I thought of going there, I ended up at Seafood Connection! In fact, I used to go to Cheddar Box all the time before the Seafood Connection lunch counter opened, but I hadn't been for the longest time (several years?) until July. I got a slice of caramel cake, and the woman behind the counter said, "How are you? I haven't seen you in forever!" I felt kinda bad lol!
