Beware: When buying Fish from Chinatown

Just for awareness:

 

 

My mum found these 2 pieces of metal in the Promfret's stomach,

which is to add on to the weight of the fish.

[furious]

 

This early morning is her 1st time buying from Chinatown, so she didn't know

which stall is a 'reputable' one.

 

This seller also one kind, preying on those aunties busy with grocery shopping during

this pre-cny period. Hope he doesn't sleep well at night...

 

 

Lastly,

Happy Lunar new year! [;)]

Might be, he also don't know, originate from his supplier. He also kenna weight added. [:(]

 

 

I also suspected this, but my mum told me that she keep asking him to clean the promfret

and he keep acting 'blur'... In the end, my mum paid and thinking she can clean it herself when

she gets home.

Now I understand why my mum sometimes requested for the fishmonger to disbowelled the fish she bought. She paid for the transparency [thumbsup]
