With due respect to Taggermike's opinion, if you have ever visited Pike's you would probably feel differently about their antics. The fishmongers at Pike's have been doing things this way for many years. I am sure that in the beginning, tossing the fish around was just the most efficient way to get things done. It has evolved over the years into an entertaining tradition that most visitors enjoy watching.
The comparison to someone tossing pizza dough or a sushi chef flailing around with sharp knives is a good one. In my book, this is harmless fun.
The world has plenty of bigger problems which deserve our attention. I say that we should give the folks at Pike's a pass. If someone does not like seeing the fish fly through the air, don't pay Pike's a visit.
PS. For those who object to food being tossed around, I would also recommend you stay away from Dick's Last Resort where the servers often use a similar style of delivering customer's orders.
