Loading ...Patin dressed as dory?
The real deal:
What we’re buying [locally known as patin]:
Dory: This temperate cold water marine salt water fish ( who swims alone and not in shoals) is sold at restaurants in Australia and New Zealand is special, very special and have been placed in a category similar to the Cod fish . Blue Ribbon chefs have very high regards for this fish too. A dish of this fish would set you back Rm100!!
Then how are we able to buy such expensive fish at such a low price here in Malaysia?
The answer is simple. We have been Cheated. We were not bothered to check the facts. Many have bought this frozen fillets without knowing what they are buying? Ignorance? You bet. But did the Hypermarkets selling this kind of product know what are they buying and selling to us consumers? I cannot believe that they do not know! Most of them are also Public Listed Companies.
Well, apparently, the fish is marketed as Pacific Dory even though it’s a freshwater fish. So, I’m not too sure if we’re too quick to point the finger at hypermarkets who sell them.
