Reminds me of a mistake we made 4-5 yrs ago when he came by selling lobster/fish, but needed money for gas for the boat. Can you guess who never got fish?

Shame on me for giving him another chance later with the shrimp.....

Fishman Johnson will not come anywhere near Bermuda Beach, Bermuda Landing or Bermuda Palms for the same reason at snoopsmom.
Give him $50 for fish and he is gone for two weeks hoping the donator has left the island. Problem was everyone lives here.

I have bought lobster from him, a couple of times and it was good, but only because he had it right there.

We, too, have bought from Fish Johnson, and have gotten some good deals. However, we only buy what he has with him and also weigh it on our own scale. Sometimes, he is not a such a good judge of weight wink

The last time he came by he wanted money up front and he'd bring us fish "later". We said no way; we don't pay anyone before we see the goods. He said he'd bring us fish the next day anyway but never showed up. We will not buy from him any more based on what we've read here.

So true.......his "3 pounds" is usually "2 pounds".....I don't trust the guy at all.

We trusted this guy enough to hire both he and his son, to work in our yard, etc. We fed them lunch and soda's and paid them a good salary.
We had visited with our neighbor (right next door) for awhile during the time they worked for us. It wasn't until later that evening we discovered our camera and phones were missing. There had been no one else near the property, so we new who had taken them.
The next day Fishman showed up for work by himself, where we confronted him and said we were calling the police, because we knew he had our stuff. He did say he had the camera at his house, so we told him go back and get the camera and the phones and we wouldn't call the police. He was back an hour later with the camera.
He told us he sent his son off the island for stealing.(the phones were also gone)
P.S.
We did call the cops, but he told them he found the camera,so nothing happened to him.

Amazing that he had the cajones to show up for work the day after he stole from you, Kathy. Some people have no shame!

Shame and guilt are not a part of this culture.
