Subject: triva on Splash movie
Does anyone know the name of the fish company in the movie Splash John Candy worked for?? I believe it was his fathers.
Subject: Re: triva on Splash movie
Baur's?
just a guess considering Baur was his last name in the movie, and it was his(and his brother's) business.
Subject: Re: triva on Splash movie
I think it's Fulton's Fish Market. Could be wrong, though.
Subject: Re: triva on Splash movie
It wasn't a fish company at all.....they were a fruit (or fruit and vegetable...it wasn't ever made clear) wholesaler.
I remember one time Tom Hanks referred to some rotten cherries they got in as "snails with stems", and when he came in to work after spending the night at his place with Madison, he sang a rendition of "Zip-a-dee-doo-dah" that had the line "Mr. Mango on my shoulder".
The name was definitely Bauer, though.

now that you mention it, I too remember it as being a fruit place.
