1. Fishmonger at Pike Place Market
Positions for Seattle's fishiest job only open up once year. So if you want to be a Fishmonger at Pike Place Fish Market, get your throwing arm ready. Applicants don't have to be able to throw or catch a certain weight, although Chinook salmon weigh 30 lbs, on average. According to one of the managers, Justin, fishmongers don't even need an intimate knowledge of seafood. The men and women known for throwing fish to tourists just need be willing to work hard and be on stage at the same time.
