 | |  |  | Pike Place Market: Pike Place -- fish tossing | Tip Rating:    |  |  | |  |
Pike Place Market is on my "must see" list, and their fish market is definitely colorful. But I have to say the whole "fish tossing" thing is over-rated. Even Travel Channel's "10 Best in Seattle" episode spends lots of time hyping it.
Because of the hype, I thought the whole Pike Place Market is a fish market until I visited Seattle myself. In fact there are only 3 fish shops here, and they are like the varsity of the Market. These loud and proud varsity boys are always surrounded by tourists waiting to click on their camera. But they don't toss fish for nothing. You have to pay to make they toss.
The reason they toss fish is that, the shops display their best seafood at store front for customers to choose. Once you make your pick, they toss it back to the store for cleaning, packing, and shipping if required. "You buy the fish, and I'll do the deed", as one varsity boy yelled. To me, they are not selling fish. They are selling the toss. Leave a Comment
