Selling Fresh, But Dirty Carp

An Audi SUV pulls up to the sidewalk, and a well-heeled woman asks the anglers if any of the fish are for sale. Everyone suggests buying, instead of the catfish, the 6-7lb carp, quoted to her for about $9USD. As the man retrieves his catch from its net, the surrounding men warn her that because her car and looks, he’s overcharging her. But the appeal of fish makes her indifferent to the high charge. Though she does get upset when the fish flounders in its plastic casket and splashes water onto her–she scowls at the water soiling her clothes and skin, yet whatever is dirtying her on the bodily surface has been consumed by the fish which, in turn, will be consumed by her family.
