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.
Dory fish got possibility come from Vietnam fish farms where the water is contaminated with lead and mercury due to industrialization and gold mining there last time.
Atlantic Cod is the best ingredient for fish & cheap but out Ringgit buying power most won't be able to afford it.
If the goods or service is equalavent in quality, raw material and workmanship I guess it's somewhat true?
What you pay is what you get.
If you believe you can get the same quality and raw material will lower value Ringgit, you're kidding yourself of not understanding what money value is about.
