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. :confused:  shocking.gif

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.

Yes, I know the price of the fish. But the thing is that I don't see it's worth to pay is because they will cook the fish using oil

While for chicken, you can justify paying high price due to the way they cook their chicken. Some of the restaurants cook the chicken using charcoal grill and it taste way way better than you cook it using oil.

i dont think you understand how a restaurant works in first place if you complain stuff like "cook fish with just oil only mah". youre paying way more for beyond ingredient itself.

anyway back to topic why its expensive, its simple to sum up as below;

1. "angmor food" branding
2. actual fish and chips are using expensive imported fish (cod, haddock, pollock etc)

in general a fried battered fish with chips isnt expensive if you use local ingredients. but try cooking fish and chips with our local fishes and tell me same anot in taste and flavor

To me, if a place can't get their mushy peas right, then don't bother about the fish whatever species it is.

most of the time you eat the batter more than the fish, and in the end your stomach not full compare to having chicken or other meat

To be honest, ayam goreng tepi jalan taste miless better than KFC.
KFC taste already bad and went downhill.
Taste worse than tepi jalan.

High end restaurant chicken taste also not that different
*
KFC maintains their taste, when I first eat in 1990, still taste the same yesterday
Ayam Goreng tepi jalan hit and miss, taste changes after a year
Some stall closed, new one opens.
