That fish will be on sale as "fresh" filet of rainbow trout tomorrow.  Wonder how many of these types of fish wind up as breaded fish sticks.

Sorry boys, leave this one for the birds and the seals. It's a wild

I wouldn't knowingly eat this poor thing but if it made its way to a restaurant and into a dish, nobody would be the wiser.

The way things are headed, I'll be surprised if we won't be drooling over a fish in that fine condition after we're no longer allowed to retain fish caught on a rod. 

I hate to admit it, but I think you are right, Rieber. Once it is cooked nobody will be the wiser. However, it is bad advertising for the store.

Actually you have no way of telling if that live fish is wild or not by just looking at it as it sits in the tank of Superstore. Lots of farm raised rainbows and even the stocked rainbow trout are not clipped.  Odds are it's farmed salmon if it sits for sale at Superstore.  Odds of you netting a whole fish tank of rainbows and still make it economically viable for sale at 8$ per pound is pretty low.

Actually, when I was working in a grocery store, the fellows on the nite shift used to line up cans for the lanes and then race the crabs. The funny part is that they were getting paid to watch. Just a great job.

I'm guessing his expiration sticker was past due

You're joking right ?
I've never seen anything with expire date in there for whatever reason.

I'm sure when a live fish like this expires, it gets filleted and a packaged at a higher rate due to the value-added premium product. That's only if the pellet fish flesh isn't grey when they open it up. If it's grey they have to dab on the red dead chum smoke colour/flavour enhancer combo mixture and throw it in the microwave to briefly cook it through. Wrap it up and tag it $15/kg.

As it been said by others, the Manager never should have let this fish be seen. It probably should have been filletted and ground. Heck, if you're in the market for that grade of fish, or ground up fish, you're not going to be phased by a scare on the tail section. Once its cooked you'll never taste the deference between a scared pellet fish and an un-scared pellet fish - both are crap.

At Butler School they teach that farmed salmon have nibbled tails from the other fish in the tank; wild salmon don't.  I would assume the same would hold true for trout.

Looks like a trout that may have been caught in the 60's film " Planet of the Apes " movie.
( earth after a nuke war as it turns out)

Eat a small live octopus in a S Korean restaurant OR this very trout.
I'd go with the trout.

What's going on with quality control ?
Out the window it seems.
Fish for sale looking like that! Disgusting.
Now if we can only get cooks & hospital staff to wash their hands after going to ...

Edit in: 20 kilograms of mercury dumped daily in Howe Sound area for 5 yrs plus dioxins/ pulp mills plus heavy metals from Britannia Mine, in past history.
Eat crab from that area back then.

--Don't even want to think what condition the poor chickens and turkeys are raise under... a few pictures on the news lately

If you ever saw a seiner load of Pink salmon off loaded at a cannery you would never eat canned salmon again.

Didn't think anyone on here would actually need clarification. Yes......yes I was joking. Yes.....I know the internet is for serious business only...

Nasty.
