It has a Big head fish' s head and a slender of body of the grass carp fish with a bluish/black color.
I wonder if it's genetically modified?
We had a first taste of this fish when an angler friend gave one to us.
It weighs about 2 kg and was alive and kicking !
Came lunchtime, we went to our regular restaurant to get it cleaned and cooked.

| Steamed with blended ginger-the body flesh was fresh, thick and smooth with lots of fine fork-like bones- the fish's cheek and the back of it's eye's balls were filled with collagen like flesh- no fishy after taste- Rm13 to get it cooked. |
