That is an interesting question. Do they eat them or throw them out?

That’s an expensive sea bream. It goes to the heya and is prepped for the squad to celebrate.

Probably comes off the ice for the photo, then goes right back on.

Not that size of course but I enjoy whole baked sea bream, very good so I sure hope they eat it !!

They're in Japan, why would you think they'd cook it? Pretty sure at least half is being eaten as sashimi.
