According to Mr. Lin, the owner of Linji Giant Grouper Seafood Restaurant, the fish was caught in the deep sea area of the Indian Ocean and transported to Dongguan by air with ice all the way. "The freight alone cost more than 10,000 yuan," said Mr. Lin. He also mentioned that hehehei (http://www.hehehei.info), a fish of this size is at least the first appearance in Houjie, Dongguan. To satisfy the curiosity of local residents, Mr. Lin immediately decided to parade the fish around on a truck.
At 10:30 AM on the 3rd, reporters saw six young chefs carrying a gutted grouper out of the kitchen. Due to the heavy weight and slippery surface of the fish, the chefs were clearly struggling. They had only walked two or three steps when there was a "bang" as the fish hit the ground heavily. Thus, lifting it up and dropping it, over and over again, reporters calculated that within a short distance of over 20 meters, the six chefs stumbled for more than ten minutes. Finally, the grouper was carried to the flat area in front of the restaurant. By then, a table had already been set up in front of the door, and to keep the grouper fresh, four blocks of ice, each weighing over a hundred catties, were placed together to form an icy bed.
