This morning I saw the strangest thing. A huge tanker pulled up outside a seafood wholesaler in Richmond. A bloke got out of the cab, climbed the small ladder on the side of the tanker and unscrewed a large plastic lid on the top of the tank. He then picked up a large net and started scooping very frigging big live fish (barramundi I think) out of the tank. He handed the net down to another bloke who put them in a plastic ice-filled container, where they flip-flopped around for a while. I’ve never seen anything like it. It was fish farm produce no doubt. Bugger my job, I want to be a fish farmer and deliver live fish all day. I’d love that. The best thing about the job would be that you could throw live fish at mototists who shit you off. Get cut off by a Range Rover, chuck a flathead in their window. Get stuck behind someone who hasn’t noticed the light has turned green, lodge a barramundi on their roof.
ooo yeah. I often walk past this fish joint in the mall. I asked what those huge fish were just because they were so huge – baramundi. I reckon it’d be a two hands and a couple of full body rotations to get one of those things launched.
Never heard of a fish truck before though. Weird.
Which bloody fish joint? I gots to get me some of this baby!
A fish wholesaler in Cubitt St, #15 I think. Behind Swan street. I started work opposite it a few days ago and got to get me some as well.
