Produce sections in the US often look like little islands of colorful objects

Yeah and like the deli section / bakery section usually has a bunch of little islands. But these are shelves, so really most likely more of an aisle.

I get your point, but maybe the shelves are more like big cliff-sided mountainous isles. Think Dover or Gibraltar.

For the metaphor, not the grammar of course.

I would totally agree that, for example, I would go to Aisle 4 for bread. And the sign saying 4 would indicate the shelves, not the aisle where I'm standing.
