My first impression was that it was very nice. Shiroji is excellent, sumi is good quality - and then I took a closer look - I think the beni on the head will break up. If you too look closely, you'll see lighter areas within the head pattern that indicate this fish was fed color food to brighten it up for the fall sale season. IMHO, I feel this is an average to medium grade fish and should sell for about $200. But I wouldn't buy it due to the concerns about the head pattern.
