Brilliant, dogged, and relentless folk - need your help to find a website I saw on a truck yesterday
It was a semi, and it had what looked like tanks of water or cooling tanks on it, maybe 6 of them, and some kind of generator in the middle.

Each of the tanks was brown - wrapped in brown fabric, maybe. Not paint, I don't think, and each also had Chinese characters on it and the words "Kai Tak", which I know is an airport in China.

On the back of the tank that was on the end of the semi were some words about "best fish" and a website that was something like thebestfishery.com

I didn't write it down, and the website isn't what I thought I remembered it was. I've google searched for about an hour trying to find it, but keep coming up empty.

I'm positive that the website had some variation of the words "best" and "fish" in it.

Can you help?

2. maybe "the-best-fish.com"
Its Asian, though it does not translate very well.

3. Good guess, but that's not it, unfortunately.
Thanks, though!

4. Sounds like fish stocking equipment
Are we buying hatchlings from China now, or are they buying ours?

7. That's what I thought - the containers looked like they'd be for live fish,
and not just frozen ones.

Still really curious what the company was and what it was about.

9. If they were transfering live fish
it might be a local company not at the top of the google. I don't know where you live but you might have luck looking regionally. Or in China.

:hi:

8. No luck on exact match
This looks like a railroad car with similar design. http://www.fao.org/docrep/009/af000e/AF000E06.htm

There is a picture of a truck but I don't see the electrical equipment. http://ecofish.net.au/new/technology.html

What area do you live in? Maybe google live fish transport and your area? The cloth on the tanks may just be traded around or returned later.

10. There's this:
http://www.bestfish.com/

Dunno. Did it look like fresh seafood or Kois being delivered?
