This last weekend relatives came to town and naturally we went to the Seattle Pike Place Fish Market to see the fish toss. We were not disappointed. Look closely and you will find a fish in mid-air.

I understand this an old tradition where fishmongers hurl heavy salmon cross the counter while shouting load, rhythmic chants.

Following is a link to a Facebook page with a video of the fish toss.
