Can someone tell me why Fish & Chips food is so expensive compared to you eat chicken as your meal?
I checked price at Fish & Co and Manhattan Fish Market restaurants; the price of the fish & chips is really expensive. Same goes with other restaurants that sells Fish & Chips.   Even when I went to frozen section at grocery stores, I saw some of the frozen fish & chips are quite expensive. The cheapest fish & chip that I saw usually around RM15-RM18, but most of the time the price would be RM28 and above. |

Fish n chip is probably one of cheapest options when eating out in amdk countries. Go hawker centre that sell western food maybe cheaper. Forget about fish n co and Manhattan.

the higher the price mean the meat is able to run freely, you nampak chicken harga murah krn ayam tu come from cage. lu tengok harga babi dan harga lembu mahal nak mampus. Ikan pula tingal di kawasan luas itu sebab mahal.
boleh makan sayur kalau nak murah, pihak farmer in cameron nanti kasi buang juga sayur say tak ada org nak makan sayur |

Forget about fish n co and Manhattan. Yes exactly.That's why I don't understand why they sell it so expensive here in our country. It's freaking cheap at amdk countries. I can afford to pay expensive food, but I don't see the justification of paying so much for a fish & chip. This post has been edited by Alternate Gabriel: May 12 2025, 01:19 PM |

Fish aka seafood already expensive in WM
And don't think those fish are locally sourced too But depending on price lah If price comparable to chicken...always opt for fish or seafood |
