Why would he toss a fish?

The fish taste better after they have been shaken up a bit.

It's a tradition thing. "According to Wikipedia, the tradition actually started as a prank with one of the employees at Pike Place Fish Market. The crowd enjoyed the yelling and throwing so much that it became a regular thing. The fish throwing is more popular than ever."

  1. Pike Pike place

2 they toss the fish to get them over the counter rather than walking around or handing them over. It’s just their thing
