It will cause the soda to fizz. The reason is that the salt crystals provide an increased surface area that catalyzes the decomposition of the carbonic acid in the soda.

Depends on what kind of fish. Salmon live in the ocean but spawn in freshwater. Their hatchlings start life in fresh water then swim back to the ocean. I am not sure what organ allows them to do this (most likely the kidneys) but several species of saltwater fish can do this. I haven't heard of a freshwater fish that spawns in saltwater but there are also fish that live in estuaries where salt and fresh water mix. If you were to take a freshy and throw him in salt or vice versa they would probably die from kidney failure within 10 minutes.

Salt In Soda

Carbon dioxide (the bubbles in the soda) is very poorly soluble in water. The oxygen atoms are double-bonded to the carbon atom, so the hydrogen bonds they form are extremely weak.
But salt is very soluble - it ionizes completely in water, forcing the carbon dioxide out of solution. This is known as "crashing", and it is a widely used technique in organic chemistry to seperate a reaction product that is not completely insoluble in the reaction mixture.
Peace!

Dennis is right. Try it. But do it somewhere where a lot of frothing over won't make a mess.
