My youngster is fascinated by whole fish in the market. So much so that any grocery/market run results in strong requests to buy fish, but only if they are whole.
Today is one of the trips where I gave in. Previous purchases resulted in successes thanks to google searches. So I bought a tray of 8 little fish labeled Ikan Batu and they cost less than $3. At that price, assuming that it is not a highly regarded fish and may be fried whole.
Google has failed me. Most postings are in a language that I cannot read. When I found a translation, it claimed that they were stone fish. Based on the photos found on the internet, what I have is something different.
Can you enlighten me? I don't really know fish well and with a price of $5.70/kg I am expecting something similar to smelt.
Thanks for sharing.
