What happened after Food Paradise?

The episode featured Susan's Fish-N-Chips' fried seafood plates and classic fish-and-chips at its longtime spot on Forest Avenue near Morrill's Corner in Portland, Maine. The restaurant was a family-owned seafood counter that had served the neighborhood since 1989, known for affordable weekly specials. According to the Portland Press Herald, owner Susan Eklund closed the business permanently on October 30, 2025, after 36 years, citing rising costs for wages and supplies. WGME reported the same closure, noting the restaurant had been a local favorite for more than 35 years.
