  I bought it before and it’s okay. Anyway, it’s the notification I just received. I just blocked it and I won’t sell it. I can still sell it in the morning. It’s not broken. It’s the government’s job. All supermarkets or something may not sell the fish. There is really no problem with the quality of this fish. You didn’t know that two days before the Beijing-Shenzhen (seafood market), we have added a new crown pneumonia (confirmed case) in Xicheng, Beijing, saying that (new crown virus) may be fish meat from salmon, so for our safety For the sake of it, don't sell it.
