Fancy Shrimp

Pike Place Market in Seattle had to be one of the busiest markets I have ever been to. The flying fish and noise was fantastic and although I couldn't take any home with me to England I got lots of shots of the 'Fancy' fish on sale.
This time last year I was getting ready to visit family in Seattle and looking back through my archive I found some great shots from the day we visited the market. It was a photographers delight as so much was on offer and even the signage gave me some amusement!
These 'Fancy Jumbo Grilling Scampis' were one of the main attraction of this particular stall and they looked fab. I managed to get to the front of the crowd and get this shot. It did come out more of a stock image but something worth noting in the archive I am building up on here.

  3. Hey guys!
    Apologies for the late reply, I have been mad busy trying to get my exhibition ready for tomorrows launch evening. I will be blogging my claim to fame in the local press later on today if I get the chance.
    Thanks for the kind comments Kaleena!
