A girl in Malaysia shared how there was a power trip in her home which resulted in her family’s pet koi fishes dying, and her parents decided to cook their dead fishes for lunch.
The girl shared the incident on her Twitter page (@Nadia_Nazir), posting a photo of the fried koi fishes and captioning it:
“There was a power trip at home and Papa’s water pump stopped working for a while. Two of his koi fish died as a result and then he sent this photo. KOI BOLEH MAKAN KE? (Koi can be eaten?) WHAT IS THIS BEHAVIOUR PA”
According to her Tweet, there was a power-trip at her home, resulting in the air pump that is used to pump oxygen into the water for the fishes to breathe, to stop working.
Because of this, two of the family’s koi fishes died.
The father then decided to cook the dead koi so as not to let it go to waste, before sending her a photo of the fried koi fish.
The photo showed the fishes sliced into halves and fried until crispy, with the girl adding that her mother didn’t want to descale the fish and clean it, leaving it to her father.
Apparently she felt bad about removing the scales from the fish, but frying and eating it is okay.
The girl then added that her mother told her that the flesh of the koi fish was sweet, a little bit too bony for her liking but still gives it a thumb up.
