I thought when fish were shipped from other countries they were in bags for days?

They are. When I was going through university I occasionally worked at some LFSs and frequently saw delayed fish orders shipped during the winter end up with very few casualties. Sometimes I see threads like this where people suggest that a fish can't live for more than a day or two in transit and chuckle a bit - if only they knew how long some of these fish are actually in transit before they get to the LFS.

+1 I concur. I worked for an LFS in highschool and our fish orders could take a couple of weeks to arrive. Occasionally a deflated bag would result in stinky soup but not too often. Once we had a HUGE shipment of saltwater that we had been drooling over, it got held in customs and it was HOT summer. Nothing lived, a big stinky mess. Even the LR was dead, probably cooking on a tarmac somewhere.

I'm glad this story had a happy ending. Good packing job J&L.
