Fish Fight: NJ Restaurant Owner Screams At Customer

NEPTUNE, NJ - A video posted of a Neptune restaurant owner screaming at a customer — and smacking an order of fish onto the floor — has quickly gone viral. And the business owner has now posted her own parody video of what she says happened as well.

The incident happened at Soul on the River, a soul food establishment in Neptune. Customer Tiffany Sharhon posted the video to Facebook Thursday. She said she ordered whiting fish, and waited for over an hour for it to be delivered. When she finally got her order, she said the fish was undercooked and described it as "wet slimy fish ... with no taste."

When she asked the business owner for a refund for her $12 order, things got a little, ahem, heated.

"Get out of my place of business, Get the (f----) out of my place of business," the owner, referred to as Mona, shouts at her in the video Sharhon took. At some point, someone knocks the bag of whiting fish out Sharhon's hand and onto the floor.

Mona, for her part, says Sharhon's boyfriend was blocking the door and that she felt threatened by the two customers. Mona also pointed out that she was the one who called police because she felt threatened by Sharhon and her boyfriend.

"No business owner should feel threatened in their business," she wrote on Facebook. "No one should tell me how to react until you own a business and put in a situation where you have to go into protect mode!"

The video has been shared nearly 4,000 times on Facebook and received more than 2,000 comments. "FEEL FREE TO SHARE ! #soulontheriver" Sharhon posted.

Mona, however, posted her own video to Facebook Monday:

According to NJ.com, the police were eventually called to the scene and it was then that she was given $12 back. Phone calls made by Patch to Soul on the River were not picked up. The restaurant did not return calls made by NJ.com.
