There's hunger in the land

Catching the fish and Eating the fish is the best decision, because if the guy decides he wants to sell it, the fish would have died before he sees a buyer.

it not immediately he will see a buyer that will pay $2.6million they will still need to negotiate back and forth before arriving at a price

Who will buy a dead and rotten fish for $2.6million
