They sell them as food. Walk down Mott Street from Canal Street towards Grand Street.

Are they in water? or are they out of the water like seconds from being dead?

Hmm...Im not sure they would make it during the transport on the train all the way back to Queens:nilly:

Some are in tanks. Channel cats, tilapia, hybrid striped bass, bluegills. Some other things that I don't know the name of as well. A fish that looks like a large goby. Maybe baramundi. Bring a bucket or durable bag. The Chinese fishmongers will not want to deal with you and give you a lot of water. Just pick the fish, and they will weigh it. Be sure to tell them that you want it alive or the second guy will whack it in the head with the blunt end of a meat cleaver (no exaggeration). I've bought a small tilapia from a Chinese fish market once and have it for the better part of a year. Of course my trip home was only about 15 minutes.
 
That should be interesting walking to the 7 train with a bucket of Bluegills. I guarantee I'd probably have dead fish by the time I get home. By the way things look, if they are already in a state of shock in a bad environment with bad water, then removing them and placing them in a bucket of crappy water and making a journey home will most like not work.

Kind of the same way when I go fishing and I place my caught fish into a bucket of lake water, usually within minutes they stop breathing and die in the bucket. So I dont think the journey back to Queens would prove successful. Not to mention the fact that I would be royally pissed off If I make a journey across the city to come home with dead natives:irked:
