The Pike Place fishmongers are almost as famous as the market they work at, lovingly profiled in the media and treasured by those who watch them go about their work each day with style and smiles. In "Catch!, Cyndi Crother tells their story--or rather, lets them tell it, in this unusual combination of oral biography and business blueprint.
