It would have take more than a small car to take it all away. "Someone must have known that amount of fish was stored on the premises, and much of it wasn't gutted, so it will useless to someone who doesn't have the skills to gut them. "This fish was all fresh, it will only last a couple of days before it goes off so they will need to get rid of it quickly.
