when do they throw fish at pike place market
Pike Place Fish Market The Pike Place Fish Market is best known for their habit of hurling customers' orders across the shopping area. A typical routine will involve a customer ordering a fish, with their fishmongers in orange rubber overalls and boots calling out the order, which is loudly shouted back by all the other staff, at which point the original fishmonger will throw the customer's fish behind the counter for wrapping.[7] Initially, the shouted repeating of the ordered fish began as a prank on one employee, but was enjoyed by customers, so it became a tradition.[9] While working, the staff continually yell to each other and chant in unison while they throw ordered fish.[10] At times, the fish market staff will throw a foam fish into the crowd to scare bystanders, or select a customer from the crowds to participate in the fish toss.[11] Above the areas in which they throw fish, the market hangs a sign that reads, "Caution: Low Flying Fish".[12]
Great Salt Lake Because of the Great Salt Lake's high salinity, it has few fish, but they do occur in Bear River Bay and Farmington Bay when spring runoff brings fresh water into the lake. A few aquatic animals live in the lake's main basin, including centimeter-long brine shrimp (Artemia franciscana). Their tiny, hard-walled eggs or cysts (diameter about 200 micrometers)[46] are harvested in quantity during the fall and early winter. They are fed to prawns in Asia,[38] sold as novelty "Sea-Monkeys," sold either live or dehydrated in pet stores as a fish food, and used in testing of toxins, drugs, and other chemicals.[4] There are also two species of brine fly[47] as well as protozoa, rotifers, bacteria and algae.
