Pike Place Market Fish Stand


This is the place in Seattle where the guys throw your fish around. They looked like they were having a good old time at their work, shouting out catchy phrases, pulling a string on a rigged-up monkfish to make it seem to snap at customers and curious children, performing a choreographed presentation of professional fish sales to appeal to the crowds gathered around their stall. It was fun to watch, I'll admit. I didn't stick around long enough to see fish tossed, but this is where they do it.
