What is PKS?

In case you, like me, choose to avoid anything Meta as much as possible, I’ll give a brief description.

Several years ago I learned of PKS. I was immediately thrilled to find such a resource. It is a well-stocked emporium of fresh, fresh fish at good prices. The fish are there to see. Chose your fish and have it expertly filleted as you like it. Nothing draws me to a fish market more than high turnover of product and expert treatment of the product.

But that isn’t all of it. Over the years I have found the sales staff to be exceptional as well. They greet me as I enter, escort me to where I need to be, package up my frozen prawns, and ensure that my fresh fish is cut the way I want it.

I live in Troncones so going to PKS is a trip for me, but I referred gringo friends who live in Zihuatanejo near Kyoto Plaza. PKS delivers to them free.

I hope that the rumours of the demise of PKS are premature. Its loss would be a tragedy.

It closed, and yes it's a tragedy, as much for hundreds of customers as for the families that depend on it. The general consensus is that the reason was because of extorsion. There was a police vehicle parked out in front of the business today while their metallic curtain remained shut. That told neighbors everything they needed to know. But hey, we're going to have a new expanse of painted cement with palm trees in front of the pier. Aren't you thrilled?
