NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- At least I had been warned.
When I agreed to meet Jake Waddell -- aka Catfish Jake -- on Friday morning before the Nashville Predators' first game of their second-round series against the Winnipeg Jets, he messaged me: "Hope the smell of fish in the morning doesn't bother you."
We arrived at 9:30 a.m. local time, just when Little's Fish Market opened. The store was in the Germantown neighborhood, on a leafy street. It was a white-painted, brick building with cute, blue font -- much quieter than I expected. Two women strolled in behind us, chatting about what they were cooking for their families that night.
