Fish Daddy

Fish Daddy had a little house that his mom left him in rural Va. Beach. It originally was called the ‘Marsh Hut’, but its name was changed to the ‘Cut Hut’ during the 80s. Fish Daddy was dealing and had a voracious appetite for his product, which was the ‘whitey’, cocaine. This led to him cutting his product as much as he could with whatever was available. Thus, the ‘Cut Hut’. During this high time Fish Daddy was also referred to as “Boots” due to all the stomping he did on the coke.

The Cut Hut burnt to the ground one day due to Fish Daddy’s father doing some soldering on the old copper pipes. Money jars were set up in the local bars and businesses to help Fish Daddy out. Guess what he spent all the money on? Someone gave Fish Daddy a camper trailer. The kind you pull behind a car. About six feet wide and 12 feet long. Fish Daddy set it up in the yard in front of the charred ruins of the house. Somehow he got a temporary power pole set up beside the trailer, so he had electricity.

Fish Daddy had a steady girlfriend at this time, and she looked pretty good until she started staying up for days free basing. To this day Fish Daddy swears that the girlfriend burnt the camper trailer to the ground during a binge. No big deal, Fish Daddy got another free trailer. Smaller than the first one, though. This second trailer didn’t last as long as the first one. Yes, it too was destroyed by fire. That was enough for the City of Virginia Beach, they condemned the property, Fish Daddy moved on, and the land was eventually sold for back taxes.
