Seattle Pike Place

Just hours before these fish were swimming.  The Pike Place Fish Market in Seattle claims to have 10,000 visitors a day.  They were almost bankrupt a few years ago and then the staff had the idea of being a bit more entertaining.  Now, orders are taken from the patrons on the customer side of the counter then the order is shouted out to the boys in the back who repeat the order in perfect unison.  The required fish then are thrown to the back where they are cleaned and packed ready to take home.  It's quite the show - and unless they are shopping for fish there are no gloomy bankers around anywhere.
