FISH TOSS!

By Constance Rigney, December 15, 2018

Nestled in the Humboldt neighborhood, a tiny and little known park called Albina Green, is home to New Years Day’s most hilarious and odiferous tradition: FISH TOSS!

The Red Fox, housed at one end of the park, has hosted this frozen fish-flinging event for the past 8 years.  The fish are donated by a local vendor, and are all too old or damaged to be sold and eaten.  Contestants line up for a chance to be the ultimate tosser—the person who throws the frozen fish the farthest, wins a shiny gold Fish Toss trophy. It’s not as easy as it sounds. The fish’s trajectory can take some wild turns.  They land on rooftops, get stuck in tress, and have been known to accidently kiss a contestant or two.

So, get training! Do some push ups, fling a few fish sized items to check your distance skills, and come on down.  This holiday tradition usually kicks off around 1 pm on New Year’s day.
