The Cod Father
Frank Patti , 'The Codfather' is legendary. Mr. Frank like his father Captain Joe Patti is a sharp-witted fishmonger who runs his bustling seafood shop with the authority of an underworld boss, though his only true allegiance is to absolute freshness.
Stepping into his shop feels like entering a maritime bright lit speakeasy, where the air is thick with the briny scent of the deep sea and the crushed ice gleams like diamonds. Dressed in his famous suspenders and peeky-blinder pristine flat cap, the Codfather holds court behind the counter, slicing sushi grade tuna with surgical precision while tossing out clever barbs to his loyal neighborhood clientele.
His display cases are a treasure trove of the ocean’s finest offerings, showcasing everything from velvet-skinned mackerel to massive king crab legs, all sourced from trusted, tight-lipped fishermen. It is a local institution where premium quality is guaranteed, and customers know better than to disrespect the daily catch.
