The end of the story. The fish was delivered to the hotel about an hour after we were supposed to have flown out. We contacted the vendor, and they picked it up, hopefully sold it at the market, cut 'new' fish for us and shipped it home for no extra charge. We had some for dinner last night, and it was delicious!

Sounds like a fishy story to me.

Thanks for reporting back!

Better to fly home with the fish than to sleep with them.
