I was told recently that you cannot ship fish because they have to x-ray the boxes and that kills the fish.
Any truth to this?
I'm just asking as I am ignorant on this subject
X-raying fish

The only area that that might be true of is certain zipcodes in DC that are still nuking their mail because of anthrax. Whatever they use fries paper and melts magazine pages together so it probably wouldn't be good for fish.

that's irradiation, it's meant to kill contaminents (it would definately kill fish).
X-rays are a whole differenet ball game.

I've ordered fish online multiple times. Never had any issues. You can definitely ship fish if you know what you're doing.
Aside from shipping them to the paranoid zip codes.
Plus, I'm pretty sure you can deliberately X-ray a fish and it'll be fine.
