A businessman?involved in the fishing industry is suggesting that the Ministry of Health should get its hands on 500 000 flying fish stored away but suspected to be contaminated.
The man, who requested anonymity, said he was reliably informed that the fish were removed from a cold storage facility last Friday after the WEEKEND?NATION broke the story that there was the possibility that the fish may be unfit for human consumption.
He said that the fish were being stored in two refrigerated containers and were being moved to different locations. He was concerned that some of the fish may be finding their way to the public through fish market vendors and suppliers.
 It is understood that between last Friday and Wednesday this week, quality control officers disposed of another 30 000 contaminated flying fish.
The majority were seized from a vendor at the Bridgetown Market while being packaged for sale. Those fish were believed to be from the batch under suspicion and reports indicate that some were destined for a major fish supplier.
