Image shows two outstretched palms presenting a raw fish.
		The fish has a pinkish hue, and bits of cilantro stick out from under the fish.
		In the background, a scene like out of a fish market.
		The hands are holding the fish over a crushed ice display with fresh seafood.
		Surrounding the hands holding the fish are more of the same type of raw fish, a brown crab, the bound claws of a live lobster, and a pild of pink prawns.
