A fish hatchery is a place for artificial breeding, hatching, and rearing through the early life stages of animals—finfish and shellfish in particular. Hatcheries produce larval and juvenile fish, shellfish, and crustaceans, primarily to support the aquaculture industry where they are transferred to on-growing systems, such as fish farms, to reach harvest size. Some species that are commonly raised in hatcheries include Pacific oysters, shrimp, Indian prawns, salmon, tilapia, and scallops.
Sandwich Fish Hatchery
The kids love this place. The place tends to be frequented by the toddler set, but that doesn't stop elders either to become the right fit. The Sandwich Fish Hatchery breed 4 species of trout here. And the fish are of varying sizes in the different tanks. The tanks closest to the visitor parking lot hold the largest fish. You can see many saw 18"+ fish (those are the big rainbow trout).

You can also buy a handful of fish food for 25 cents. The dispenser will be like an old-fashioned bubble gum machine. Bring quarters and bring a cup or napkin to dispense the food into - quarters worth barely fits in my hand. The best is when you feed the fish - it's a total feeding frenzy with fish jumping out of the water. It's cool.
Remember to bring quarters so you can get the pellets, and cups are handy too in keeping the food. Sanitizer or wipes are heavens for when you finish and cannot stand the fish pellet smell on your fingers. Try feeding the smaller fish and watch them go nuts and even jump in the air sometimes to get it. Prepare for a few splashes too! Family is amusing at any age.
