I haven't been to Pikes Place in years and thought they had quit selling river caught wild steelhead from the tribes, because I quit seeing them for sale during peak season. Prior to that, when I did see them, I would make scene in front of their stand so the tourists could hear, stating, it's unethical to be selling endangered steelhead, and that steelhead can't handle commercial fisheries. That really pissed them off. Did alot of good, right? I guess it made me feel better. BTW, I thought it was illegal to sell gamefish, unless a tribal member?
