Abdul has learned a lot about fish and people since he came to the U.S. in 1994 from Nigeria. For seven years he has been at the busy Wilmette store, working his way up from counter service to assistant manager. He enjoys the friendly atmosphere at Burhop’s and the company of his co-workers.
Abdul is a tilapia lover. "It’s really mild, but it also reminds me of my home in Nigeria."
