kampung baru subang many seafood restaurants there got sell, yes its rm60/100 gram

may be what you dont know about this fish is they really got the market for the rich. You can get it in few fish shops in KL like the one in Sri Petaling. When the shop got the wild empurau stocks, they will let those datuk datuk tan sri tan sri knows and all kena sapu/booked. Even those hong kong people will make trips to malaysia shopping, jalan jalan and makan ikan empurau.

There are some fish shops now start selling breeded empurau at cheaper price but the taste is not as good as the wild empurau. Those rich people will not like the breeded empurau. They can afford to pay the money, so, they not going to settle for a lower quality empurau.

I went to sibu few months ago and we look for the wild empurau high and low also cannot get one for our dinner to treat our customers. The price in Sarawak is lower if compare to those shipped to KL.

Even if you want to do venture into this business, i think you need to have sustainable flow of Kelah fish.Which I seriously doubt so as it's easier to catch them in the wild than to rear them up to the size you want.
for that, i will have you understand that their number is dwindling down fast.What with people masak ikan bakar right after fishing them.
The days for this fish are numbered given that they took such a long time to grow to the size to feed few adults.think of Koi fish if you like as both of them are carps.koi fish have a poor growth rate.

nothing taste better than salmon and cod fish.

not only that, what make this empurau special and feel tasty is the food the fish eat. The wild one eat the fruits (cant remember what the fruit name) dropped on the tree along the river band. Understand that the fruit now is also fetching good price to be export.

Those breeded one cannot afford to feed the fruit as the cost will be too high. Hence, the breeded one will lose out in terms of tastiness.

have you tasted a wild empurau before you qualify your above statement?

wau ada tiger juga

ikan keli - big market at saudi.

emperau market, maybe not only malaysia-worldwide,baru masyuk

owh ikan ni . tpi bukan ikan ni dalam perlindungan ke?

kene denda woo klu sesuka tangkap dan di tangkap oleh pihak yang bertanggung jawab

erm.. what makes you think that i never tried it before?

pardon me, i didnt say you taste or not before, I only ask whether you taste before you make your statement.

think that's in perak ler

i know they really like biji kelapa sawit

monster river fish..
shld invite NGEO to come and film

tasted once. chicken wing still win.

Empurau is a lot of hype, and the price... hence the Chinese name "wang pu liau". After makan, money fly away

Seriously our semenanjung Kelah way better taste and texture, also cheaper too (RM300/kg). Oh Kelah is also protected too. Sad cause such a tasty fish. Some one should breed this too!

there are quite a number of species of river fish and price is not that expensive. Those found in Pahang River is also very good and we always find time to drive up there to Karak, Mentakap, Termeloh to taste those river fish.

yeah , went taman negara before to pancing this kind of fish.. but not empurau la. think just normal kelah.. using buah kelapa sawit as bait.

pernah makan satu kali kat Sarawak, ikan stim gila RM3k.

Di sana
Kelah = empurau
Sebarau = Sigma
Haruan = Haruan
Haruan Besar = Toman

owh sebutan ja lain.. tot was diff. species.
