That Sir, is one very UNFRESH fish. Looks like its been rolling around in the surf for some time.
Cool scale picture on the "beverage container", though.  [Bud Light is nasty enough not to warrant the term - beer  ] |

It was just "aged". Makes for a more tender steak.
And I agree with the Bud Light assessment. That's why I drink Natty.
