Okay another literal translation from Dutch, trying to explain what I am looking for.
When one woman, or several women yell [at each other], we say accuse them of "yelling like women in the market who sell fish".
Any equivalent in English [important: I search for a way to describe specifically women who yell at each other –*if that exists in English].

Thanks in advance
 
Perhaps, like "fishwives" . . . screeching like fishwives.
