1 word: cheap

not that cheap pun

TS tered talking about fish and chips la, not your ikan goreng.

I wonder why many restaurant like to use this kind of fish when they are preparing fish n' chips. It tastes like wet sock. The meat texture feels like tissue paper ya wipe your ass with. The only redemption is the crispy batter with white sauce and lemon, and it still doesn't taste all that good. If you are making one, do yourself a favor. I suggest you go find any mackerel/tenggiri or any other fish.

TS in dilemma.

He/She expect to pay in worthless Ringgit but get Atlantic Cod fish in local Malaysian restaurants.

What you pay is what you get la.

In some countries you pay US$20 for real lobster burger, you expect to pay RM20 to get lobster burger also in Malaysia. If got also ours might be using fake crab meat for the RM20 one selling at our local shops.

This tred is old but

I don’t say need to be Cod Fish level la bru

There’s still many local fishes that can beat dory hands down, even cheap one.

The reason they are using dory is because it’s cheap and easy to get from any frozen food supplier no need fillet all ready made

But it’s still crap

The next compensation for dory would probably be tillapia for Malaysian 3rd world grade fish.

Got one famous shop in Ipoh use Tillapia instead of dory here last time.

Btw, traditional fish and chips is served with malt vinegar + salt, thick fat chips, and maybe a side of mushy peas.

Tartar sauce semua tak main la lol.
