Popular freshwater Pomfret sold well

Freshwater pomfret, one of the most-consumed fish, has been sold well in the market.
It has only a middle bone, and it is tasty if eaten fried, so Myanmar people enjoy it. Being tender and with fewer scales and bones, it is one of the most consumed fish in the domestic market. At present, these fish are being sold at a discount due to unstable prices as a result of transport delays.
“Freshwater pomfret is a most-consumed fish, so we have to sell it at a discount. The price is not stable. We are a wholesaler, so the trading is doing well. There are farmed pomfret called freshwater pomfret and saltwater pomfret. We now sell freshwater pomfret,” said an official from Ko Nyi freshwater fish trading and highway delivery from Kyimyindine Central Sanpya Fish Market.
In the last month, the price of freshwater fish rohu slightly declined, but the trading was good. Rohu, river catfish, pomfret and catla are the most consumed fish in Myanmar. Freshwater pomfret can be bred mixed with rohu, river catfish, catla and mrigal carp, and its growth rate is twice that of rohu. — Thit Taw/ZS/ED
