Having a fish market/restaurant next to an aquarium does raise some questions. Like what was in the fish stew that day.
Sorry, slow on the draw.
Phil’s was housed in a couple of buildings owned by
the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute. The aquarium is a sister organization in Monterey. Phil lost the property that was his fathers when he was busted for drugs. (Importing other than squid). Clinton pardoned him. David Packard bought the property with one bid of $750K at auction and built MBARI on the site.
