Detroit Red Wings fans' octopus source is going out of business

Superior Fish Co. on 11 Mile near Main Street in Royal Oak is closing. The last day of full service is Saturday, and there's to be a sale on frozen fish — and pieces of the store "just as they sell the seats to to Joe Louis (Arena)" — the following week.
