Robert's Fish Market


Jay Shefsky has the story of an unusual friendship that led a Mexican immigrant to own the last kosher fish market in the Chicago area on Chicago Tonight at 7:00 pm.

Robert Schuffler, 93, opened Robert’s Fish Market on Devon Avenue in 1966. Arturo Venegas began working at the shop in 1983, when he was just 13 years old. Check out Chicago Tonight‘s web extra videos below.
