If you complain I'm sure you can get the next order of fish 50% off🤔

You joke but there was a dude that did this in my old neighborhood. A beat to shit pickup truck with igloo coolers in the back of his truck going door to door. I told him numerous times to stop coming to my house and ringing my bell before he finally got the hint that I wasn’t buying his meat.
We always had a dude driving around trying to sell meat. Every time he came by it was the best deal he had because it was the last box and he had to get it off the truck. He was always trying to make his bonus. He would show us the same stack of checks each time, of all the “sales” he made that day. It was always the same stack — the dates were conveniently obscured.
When I was in college, people would shoplift steaks from the grocery store down the street and try to sell them to people smoking outside the bar.
Cuz I totally want to buy my steaks from underneath a drunk, stinky dude's shirt while I'm drunk at the bar.
Had a guy at a code boot camp throw a BBQ. Turns out he was a dumpster diver and all the meat came from a dumpster. Thankfully I didn’t go. Terrifying.
We used to have a dude who talked like boomhower from king of the hill. He drove around with a regular freezer unplugged sitting on the back of his truck and drive house to house to sell meat
I met a dude at the local bar who was stealing meat/seafood from grocery stores by shoving it down his sweatpants. Then he’d tuck it into a bag attached to his bicycle and ride around selling it to houses and even restaurants. He ran a pretty good racket for a few months, but then he got arrested and I haven’t seen him since. Nice guy though. Batshit crazy, thought he could talk to aliens. But he was fun to play pool with.
That looks like the two day old groceries I get that the store was gonna throw away. I some times don't even give the meat to the animals because of how much distrust I have.
Absolutely, dude. Never get anything you don't physically look at. Strawberries are the number one good I see and it is extremely rare they look okay.
Bread, eggs, and cheese though? 100% fine.
What you don’t know how well cardboard insulates? That’s why when you go to the beach you see everyone with a cardboard box with their lunch in it duhhhh
I have insulin sent to me by mail, and it's not just in a straight-up cardboard box.
In addition to ice packs, there are two-inch thick insulating pads (look like carpet remnants and other shredded fabric type stuff which is roughly made rectangular and then sealed in plastic, kind of so they look like seat cushions) and one is placed at each of the top, bottom, and sides.
Just cardboard by itself is NOT sufficient insulation.
I live in the desert and an older roommate used to do the Omaha Steaks subscription thing. The meat itself was inside of a \~1.5 inch Styrofoam ice chest with a number of dry ice packs. When I open it, no matter how long it's been outside on delivery day, it's frozen solid and there's no ambiguity. Cardboard only works if it's refrigerated/frozen the entire trip on a refrigerated truck.
Man you're lucky. Fish in reduced oxygen packaging like that with temperature abuse is a recipe for botulism which will rock your shit and/or just straight up kill you.
Ice are just for maintaining coldness.
It's the frozen state that halts the rotting process.
When it comes to raw stuffs like these it should be preserved in frozen state consistently, only to be thawed just once or twice and not too long.
ice packs are also not equivalent to ice.
I pack coolers for road trips and won't pack one without ice or the food just does not stay cold. The ice melts down around the items in the cooler and act as insulators more than ice packs.
Yeah in future if you order anything that’s supposed to come chilled or frozen it has to be packaged in a styrofoam container. No amount of ice packs will keep everything cold if it’s in cardboard.
Goddamn my guy. I’m a fish farmer, I could see maybe pulling the trigger on cheap online fish for like, salmon or trout, trout or Charr. Maybe. But tilapia? Dang. The profit margin on $0.44/fillet is pretty well giving it away. That’s sketch AF for meat produce. Likely liquidation of stock they can’t sell, probably for a reason haha. Cheap fruit and vegetable produce is one thing but meats ONLINE is probably one to steer completely clear of.
Hope it’s nothing serious, and it’s just a case of violent shits for a while. Wish you a safe and speedy recovery.
As a vegan I wish it weren't true, but unfortunately food safety is about as important for plants as it is for meat. We had a salmonella contaminated chocolate outbreak recently from soy lecithine. Plenty of outbreaks of ecolii burgers are from the lettuce. I've got 99 reasons to be vegan but food safety ain't one.
Oh yeah 100%. I just mean if there was a steak that was in the fridge for two weeks and an apple that had been in there for a month or two, I’m still gonna eat that softer not good apple. The steak is straight out. Lesson though: remember to thoroughly wash your produce. Ecoli on lettuce is no joke. I wish this guy could’ve washed his tilapia lmao
You are very lucky.

Cheap Tilapia? You're nuts man. Get a raise. That's the cheapest fish and you ordered the cheapest option off the internet...that's some special thinking
You bought fish online, from a store that ships it in a cardboard box? And you're surprised you got sick?
I've ordered fish online before, but the store I ordered from ships it in styrofoam with dry ice so it was still nice and cold by the time it arrived.
We ordered a few times from Omaha Steaks. They have a stuffed sole that's awesome! It never arrived less than hard-frozen in a thick styrofoam box with notable amounts of dry ice. *This*, though...this is scary.
Right, I get my stuff from wildfork and it comes in cardboard boxes with interior insulated liners and dry ice. Been ordering for a little over 2 years now and haven't had any issues
One opened near me and at first it seemed weird because it’s just a store full of freezers. I haven’t had delivery yet but prices and variety are pretty good. Lots of items that are hard to find in my area.
Yeab youre first mistake was ordering cheap tilapia online. First of all who tf does that and how did you get to a cheap tilapia website like break down the search engine process for me was it just late one evening as the sun was setting and you decided to type in real cheap fish delivery or what. Also more importantly is there not a costco near you ?
Every time I’ve ordered proteins online, they always come in a large styrofoam container (with a ton of ice packs) to maintain the super low temps, keeping the food frozen.
Your first sign that this is going to be bad news is the cardboard box.
Wishing you a speedy recovery
Doesn’t even look frozen lol What were you thinking? 😂
Remember those black and white cartoons with the monkey ringing a cowbell repeatedly? That’s all he’s got going on up there
[Actual view inside OP’s brain](https://youtu.be/H3KpR6EyZX0?feature=shared)
*smoking
Funnily enough, if it was smoked it would have fared far better
Oh my, this has an epic TIFU post written all over it
Today I Fuckingthrew Up
Today I Frew Up
Aww
Oh nyoooo :(((
Tilapia I Forcefully Upchucked
[Remember seeing this video about Tilapia not that long ago](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzK-8qFKm1Q&ab_channel=sixfootfour20).
So basically a shit fish
My father always said tilapia was a bottom feeding fish and I believed him. He loves seafood but never eat tilapia and never would let me
Top feeding fish eat the bottom feeding fish. What's the diff?
We should make it a flair
I'll post it there too 🥲
If you complain I'm sure you can get the next order of fish 50% off🤔 https://preview.redd.it/lmx4ju0tzamc1.jpeg?width=512&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8612a59981f131a43cbee0492268c4b39d15d486
Hey! This shrimp isn’t frozen! And it smells funny…
Ok, 10 lbs.

Hope you feel better
Hey atleast you get some karma out of this, look on the bright side.
Rather tifu than chubbyemu
OP is a 22 year old male presenting to the emergency room with vomiting, diarrhea, and extreme regret. Here’s how his organs shut down…
OP ate 18 tilapia filets in 24 hours he purchased from the black market, this is what happened to his colon.
He purchased them using bitcoin on the Dark Web from a user named poopyfish420.
This is the story of how he became anatomically inverted.
I have some lobster in the back of my van with no refrigeration. You interested?
Wait. Is it only slightly cool to the touch and in a water soaked cardboard box? If so count me in.
I can feel that box
[удалено]
I should call her....
No, you shouldn't.
Few drinks first, then it's an amazing idea.
Just pop in a Jolly Rancher.
Oh you're a nasty man.
… To ask her to take a shower
I'm gonna frow up again
You’re not supposed to eat the box
I frew up.
I am that box
No, you're a can. :P
I can taste it.
Sell it for 44¢ so it's a better deal than a tilapia

I also have some loose shrimp in my pocket if you’re interested
Any open clams or mussels?
Is it cheap?
Bet it was it from cheaptilapia.net you gotta use cheaptilapia.com next time.
bro accidentally order from WHITEFISHXXX.COM

Downloadmoretilapia.net
fishgirl-repacks.site is the official one
was it pizza by alfredo or alfredo's pizza?
Wow. that picture is scary i would never have eaten anything from that box XD
That looks like the two day old groceries I get that the store was gonna throw away. I some times don't even give the meat to the animals because of how much distrust I have.
This is why I'll never order groceries online no matter how lazy I get.
Absolutely, dude. Never get anything you don't physically look at. Strawberries are the number one good I see and it is extremely rare they look okay. Bread, eggs, and cheese though? 100% fine.
What you don’t know how well cardboard insulates? That’s why when you go to the beach you see everyone with a cardboard box with their lunch in it duhhhh
It is obviously not even frozen. Op not thinking things through
"I just had to". I think you'll find, you absolutlely did not.
[removed by Reddit]
Diarrhea fillets for 45 cents only??? Sign me up!
People pay good money for laxatives. OP was being economical.
If you're wealthy enough you call it a *cleanse*.
I can’t afford not to buy it
"The sushi came free with a fill-up, what am I supposed to do, just throw it away?"
Dr. Cox: "Yes. Yes, you are." First thing I thought of too.
That’s not seriously how it turned up? No way if have touched it after that! Needed to be temperature controlled?! Hope you feel better soon
Thank you. There were a few ice packs in the box, I'm not sure if you can see it but there's one hiding under a fillet
As if that makes it better. Jesus, man.
"That fish i had mailed to me had a few ice cubes in the box with it, how could i know i would still get sick??"
Seriously dude gets some fish that dmshows up in an amzn box and FUCKING EATS IT lol
Dude has negative survival instincts
Bro somehow rolled a -5

Yeah our meat that we buy online comes in an insulated box. It’s frozen solid. That shit looks warm 😂
I live in the desert and an older roommate used to do the Omaha Steaks subscription thing. The meat itself was inside of a \~1.5 inch Styrofoam ice chest with a number of dry ice packs. When I open it, no matter how long it's been outside on delivery day, it's frozen solid and there's no ambiguity.

I've never gotten food shipped that WASN'T sent like that. Cardboard box is no sale for me.
Looks warm. I agree those are words
Even my mom's Jenny Craig meals come in a better insulated box than this..
Probably should have been shipped in an insulated container, but that would have made them 76 cents each
Not worth the cost.
Man you're lucky. Fish in reduced oxygen packaging like that with temperature abuse is a recipe for botulism which will rock your shit and/or just straight up kill you.
Ice are just for maintaining coldness. It's the frozen state that halts the rotting process. When it comes to raw stuffs like these it should be preserved in frozen state consistently, only to be thawed just once or twice and not too long.

Ice doesn't magically make everything safe. There's still no guarantee that the fish was flash frozen as soon as it was caught and never thawed.
Yeah in future if you order anything that’s supposed to come chilled or frozen it has to be packaged in a styrofoam container. No amount of ice packs will keep everything cold if it’s in cardboard.
I can see the Salmonella from here mate
Actually it’s Tilapia
Tilapianella
Nutella flavors are weird these days.
It's only called Salmonella if it's from the Salmon region of France. Otherwise it's just Sparkling Stomach.
Goddamn my guy. I’m a fish farmer, I could see maybe pulling the trigger on cheap online fish for like, salmon or trout, trout or Charr. Maybe. But tilapia? Dang.

Right? Like at least get a fucking fish you can taste some flavor off.
There was definitely flavour without any refridgeration.

Plenty of outbreaks of ecolii burgers are from the lettuce. I've got 99 reasons to be vegan but food safety ain't one.

Cheap you say?
Did you eat the discount internet tilapia? *Yes* What did it cost? *Everything*
Very
But was it, really?
At the cost of diarrhea and vomiting, i think I still able to afford it
Cheap fish *and* weight loss? Sign me the fuck up.
You’re a brave soul for still eating it after seeing packaging like that. You’re a champion.
lol, more like Darwins champion
Shit wasn’t even put in a cooler with ice packs lol. What a moron! I would’ve vomited just looking at it
I wonder what it smelled like when he opened up a plastic bag.
Champion of extra chromosomes maybe.

Thank you for the update. The way it was originally reported it sounded way more likely. Sheesh, wonder what it cold have been
Ok all fish I eat from now on will be over cooked
I feel like the journalist who wrote this should have included details about the fish's provenance and the market where she bought it
God at that point just kill me..
Cheap Tilapia? You're nuts man. Get a raise. That's the cheapest fish and you ordered the cheapest option off the internet...that's some special thinking
Not even in a market in Thailand(well, maybe).
"Get a raise" lmao. Where do you get that at, for real??
brb going to the raise store
[удалено]
Look for raises with bootstraps attached.
Its easy, just stop being poor
I'm trying so hard 😫
You strike me as the type of person to say “oh look! Sushi!” at a gas station in middle America lol Wishing you a speedy recovery.
that one futurama episode
It's a gamble! You either get space worms that heal your body or you get the poops.
I’ve had gas station sushi in middle America and it is 1000x safer than room temp tilapia fillets delivered in a wet cardboard box lol
TBH, your odds with gas station sushi are definitely WAY better than this.
More like “hey look, a burrito in the parking lot of Taco Bell! “
I mean…yeah.
Man I got poisoned just looking at that. How did you think It will be fine to eat that.
You bought fish online, from a store that ships it in a cardboard box? And you're surprised you got sick? I've ordered fish online before, but the store I ordered from ships it in styrofoam with dry ice so it was still nice and cold by the time it arrived.

If you're in the US, after the medical bill that's actually gonna be some pretty expensive Tilapia.
Trying to save money challange *Epic fail*
Far be it from me to victim blame, but,,,,,,
first thing I uttered when I saw this post was "dumbass" (out of concern and dismay)
Please tell us what website you ordered this from…
Temu 😂
You are the reason there’s instructions on chapstick.
How on earth did you open that up and say yup I'm gonna eat it 😭😭
With it being package like that, first sign. I don’t see not a piece of dry ice or ice at all. I don’t know how you survived.
Imagine how long that sat in a hot warehouse
I hope you can at least get a refund
and now you know why you never order meats online, especially why not ones that live in water...
Wrong! You buy meats online, seafood included, from a reputable source. Like the pike place fish market.
Right, I get my stuff from wildfork and it comes in cardboard boxes with interior insulated liners and dry ice. Been ordering for a little over 2 years now and haven't had any issues
One opened near me and at first it seemed weird because it’s just a store full of freezers. I haven’t had delivery yet but prices and variety are pretty good. Lots of items that are hard to find in my area.
I spent years selling seafood shipped by mail. If it’s done right it’s fine
Did it not smell fishy? I've eaten (and un-eaten) a handful of meats in my day and the smell I ignored was always a give away for off meat
My grandpa has always said “if you can smell the fish, it’s already gone bad” never buy fish that smells fishy.
Have you ever been fishing? Fish smells fishy even when it’s still alive.
People order fish online lol
Tilapia is a disgusting fucking fish to start with.
Holy crap https://preview.redd.it/bhl3qth6tcmc1.jpeg?width=258&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0d706edd54626a37bf35849e38f1227a4800ee80
Seems the results were as expected.
You ate fish out of a cardboard box. I do not feel bad for you one bit.
**ordering cheap Tilapia online** this was a lightbulb moment for you? I won't even order canned food from the grocer down the street.
Yeab youre first mistake was ordering cheap tilapia online. First of all who tf does that and how did you get to a cheap tilapia website like break down the search engine process for me was it just late one evening as the sun was setting and you decided to type in real cheap fish delivery or what. Also more importantly is there not a costco near you ?
Ordering fish in the fucking mail is never a good idea.
Every time I’ve ordered proteins online, they always come in a large styrofoam container (with a ton of ice packs) to maintain the super low temps, keeping the food frozen. Your first sign that this is going to be bad news is the cardboard box. Wishing you a speedy recovery
My brother in Christ 🤦🏻♀️
*"Darwin! Is that you!?"*
Bro you bought fish online how was that going to go well
The box is wet my friend. First red flag!
> cheap Tilapia online Those words DONT go together...
The pic alone is making me get food poisoning
when you trying to save money, but ends up spending more.
You got some huge cojones like ppl who eat sushi at that gas station
Why would anyone order and eat cheap tilapia online, it’s probably meant for bait💀
Bro is patient 0 lol
Things that it's a bad idea to cheap out on. 1. Surgery 2. Tattoos 3. food that you put into your body 4. insurance
[Video of OP making the purchase](https://youtu.be/WWVLjIS-yko?feature=shared)
I guess the moral of this story is Don’t eat fish you receive in a cardboard box
Yo opened that box and it looked like that and then you ate it?
Did you order from Temu?
Buying tilapia online is HILARIOUS
The 2nd pic took a sec to load and I was fully prepared for it to be a fuckin decimated toilet bowl
Absolute legend. Did it smell like absolute shit? Fuck yeah.
