Fish & Sushi ghost signage on 1st Avenue

During ongoing storefront renovations at 61 First Ave. on Tuesday, workers uncovered ghost signage here on the SW corner of Fourth Street (H/T Nikki!

Here was Fish & Sushi...
Does anyone recall this business? 

A worker stated that the signage panels were in poor condition and were ultimately discarded in the dumpster.
Meanwhile, a deli-market is in the works for the space...
Several iterations of Houston Village Farm were here until last fall, when the business closed without notice to patrons.

Another bullshit generic deli

Yeah, it could have been something useful like tattoo shop, or a bank or a smoke shop. Maybe frozen yogurt.

I've been around the corner from there since '92 and I don't remember that place at all. The lettering looks 70's/early 80s to me

Look carefully and you'll see that a very old phone number (from the days of two letter exchange code) is peeking under the S in Sushi.
