"Gold" Fish

Last weekend we decided to have seafood. We headed to a seafood restaurant in the city that we have been before. The place has gone a thorough renovation and looks very classy. We settled down while the hostess eagerly waited for our order. There were several tanks filled with live lobsters, crabs, fish and funny looking sea creature supposedly to be from Mexico. There were also Alaskan crabs and they really look delicious. We decided to have some oysters (fresh), local crabs (black pepper style), noodles and asparagus cooked with garlic. Now for the fish we decided to have it steamed. Their tanks were at the upper level and from the distance I choose a medium size beauty. The price tag reads RM 38 and when the fish was weighed at 500 gm I reckoned it will set me back RM 19. Not bad and I certainly liked to try that beauty. While waiting for the food to be ready, again I decided to take a closer look at the fish in the tanks. Something caught my attention. The tag displayed at the tank from where I selected the fish actaully read RM 38 with a fine print of 100 gm underneath!!. Holy molly!! My head spun when I realised that I am about to have a RM 380 per kilogram fish!!
