im looking to purchase a louti grouper from freshmarine they are the only ones that have medium to large ones in stock. Has anyone had experiance with them? If so how were they to deal with and how where the fish when they arrived?

Thank you!

Never ordered from them myself, but I've heard that FreshMarine is a scam site. I seem to remember reading about someone who waited a few weeks for their order and then tried to cancel it, only to discover they had been charged $500.

never dealt with them, but from their site their pricing policy (buy 2, save $1) is total BS, and every fish says 'buy now'...I don't believe they even have any inventory..
IMO...find another vendor

yea i was wondering about the whole buy now thing. I think theres about three that say out of stock. I tried calling them to ask if they had the grouper in stock and the line was busy every time i called.

Exactly. Why experiment and get screwed up when there are good vendors available.
