I just got a follow-up email from the dealer. Claiming that the momo kohaku absolutely does not have any shimi. Spec we see in the photo is a piece of dirt or rubbish in the water at time of photo...He is trying to send me more photos of this tosai. I'll try and post when I get them, hopefully the next pics will tell another story and provide me yet another lesson.
Dealer did mention that this tosai will remain at Momotaro for growing out to jumbo tosai till around March. Does that mean the buyer of this tosai will have to pay additional keeping fees until Momotaro releases kohaku. This is fish is very expensive (for my taste anyway).
Thinking outloud, do people ever gamble on a fish in hopes that it will turnout and then try to sell the fish to make a small profit? To maybe purchase an even better one. Sorry...it just came to me out of the blue.
