Three Jolly Luck Take-Away Fish Bar

The Three Jolly Luck Takeaway Fish Bar was not one of Ankh-Morpork’s most successful businesses, nor among the longest-established.

An Agatean gentleman remembered only as Mr Hong chose to set up the shop on the site of a former fish-god temple in Dagon Street and opened on the night of a full moon and a lunar eclipse at the winter solistice. Naming the restaurant after The Lady probably didn’t help as well. Reports of what happened then are as varied and contradictory as usual from a crowd of Morporkian witnesses, but certainly the shop disappeared, or most of it, along with Mr Hong, or most of him.

Mr. Hong has since then grown to become the Ankh-Morpork equivalent of a “cautionary urban legend” admonishing people to “remember what happened to Mr. Hong”.

“And I’m sure I don’t have to remind you what happened when the late Mr Hong chose to open his Three Jolly Luck Take-Away Fish Bar in Dagon Street during the lunar eclips.” Lord Vetinari – The Truth, p. 57
