Seafood is king at Seattle's Pike Place Market. And I got up close and personal with plenty o' fish during a recent trip to Seattle, Washington.
On my bucket list: catch fish at the market! I'm not sure how I talked myself into getting chum salmon thrown at me, but once all the tourists were gathered, the pressure was on! My fave quotes from that adventure were "Wash your hands, Honey" and "Oh my gosh, I'm gonna die." Check out the video below for more laughs!

As if catching fish in Seattle wasn't enough, I had my fair share of delicious seafood. Also on my bucket list was trying geoduck (pronounced "gooey duck"), a very unique looking (read: phallic shaped) saltwater clam. The seafood sampling didn't stop there. From cod to shrimp to salmon, I must say, Seattle has some outstanding seafood!
From Sushi Kappo Tamura: local geoduck tender with mustard greens and shemeji mushrooms sauteed in a sake soy butter sauce.
From Blueacre Seafood: ritzy line-caught ling cod with old bay aioli, buttered crumb, and whipped potatoes.
From Fuji Sushi: salmon and shrimp sushi feast.
