The last remaining Skippers Seafood House in the Salem-Keizer area closed up a week or two ago. It was a running joke that I ate a previous store out of business, now those claims will start up again among those that know me. Not that I'd been a huge fan the last few years ..... too expensive and I always felt uncomfortably stuffed whenever I'd finish eating. Like if some kid ran up behind me and shouted: "BOO!"..... well I might just lose it all right there in the parking lot. I would always wonder why I kept returning. I semi-seriously and only a quarter jokingly suspect that there must be some chemical in the food that created the delayed urge to return every couple of weeks even though you're not really all that crazy about the last experience. Some chemical that erases the memory of how you felt upon your previous departure. It was kinda like the first bite or two were tasty but it went downhill fast after that.
So I'm only in a fraction of a degree of mourning upon hearing the news. I have to admit that I frequented the joint over the years and there will probably be a day in the future where I wish they were still in town but I'm not too terribly upset at the development.
