All the fish below are first come first serve., once gone I do not know when more will become available. Many of the wild fish are only seasonal, its not like I can just order them from a local wholesaler. They depend on fisherman, local weather and shipping availability.
If I didn't list the fish that means I don't have them, if you're genuinely interested in something, please email me separately. If I hear enough interest in the fish I will start looking for them.
