OMG They are huge! Review by Michelle
Customer Rating OMG I thought they would be large but they are positively huge!
They were double bagged for extra protection and individually packed. My husband absolutely loves them. Excellent fish.
Now just have to cross fingers that they will like each other. (Posted on 26/11/10)
