Normally, I would comment, "delicious photo" but ....um......
Never seen a mountain of fish like that !
oh gosh, my elders and parents love this stuff, everytime they travel to VN they come back with kilos of this stuff, and they wonder why their luggage stinks.LOL
I don't understand why anyone would buy this stuff.
