With the officially imposed strictures and attendant protocols associated with efforts to limit the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continuing to take its toll on the fortunes of the business community, La Shawn Lonetta Lucas, the Proprietrix of the popular William street Campbelville King Fish Bar is counting her blessings. She has, she says, been able to live within the limits of the law and still make a comfortable living offering fried fish and plantains, among other dishes along with an assortment of beverages to her customers.
What La Shawn has accomplished has required the strictest of discipline. Her customers are, to a considerable extent, creatures of the night, mostly young and middle-aged men and women whose favorite past time is imbibing assorted beverages and snacking on considerable quantities of fried fish while deafening music persists simultaneously with conversations that have to be shouted above the din.
