(How does one get) 70 lbs (of frozen fish overseas?)

[jacambece]

So here’s the deal, I’m going to Italy for two weeks…YIPPY! For some reason my father is packing twelve suitcases, six with clothes and six with crap…well not crap, but gifts. One of the gifts is seventy pounds of frozen fish, who brings frozen fish over seas? Not to mention the weight limit imposed due to gas prices; how will be getting all this stuff over there? I don’t want to be carrying fish in my luggage, if I get there and the first thing is say is “what is that smell I don’t want it to be from my bags”. Besides all that, almost all the suitcases are full and there are still 4 people who need to pack for the trip and I still need to bring more pants. WTF, why is he bringing so much unnecessary stuff? Well if anyone has ideas on how I can get all this to travel well give me a holler, I’m going to need all the advice I can get.

Your dad needs to check with customs to make sure he can bring the fish. Also it sounds like you are going over the suitcase limit of 2 bags per person, I believe their is a weight limit on suitcases too

More importantly, why would one want that much fish; or any fish at all, really. I've never even eaten 1 lbs of fish in my life, and don't intend to.

That aside, there are probably specially-designed mechanisms for transporting such items. Some kind of vaccum-sealed wrap/packaging, etc. that would eliminate potential odour and contamination of other items in your luggage.

I would look into Fed-Exing the fish
