(My protest on restos serving fish fillet)
But if you look into it closely ( ask the resto staff), mostly it's made from cream dory. That around P90/kilo fish in the frozen section of groceries turned into some haute couture looking dish on a resto menu, add in mayonaise and some artsy fartsy veggies around it, and it's priced maybe 200-300.
My problem is NOT the price. My problem is that cream dory's in groceries usually have a 1-year expiry date. I used to be a big fan of it because my kids love it. Cream dory was the easiest way to feed them fish aside from chicken but the 1-year expiry date on its packaging always used to baffle me. I mean, it does not take a genius to figure out that it's well-injected with chemicals to preserve it ofr a year.
So anyway, i stopped buying it becuase it felt "fishy." Until i read some news article on the internet that it's indeed chemically-laden product. But of course it's internet so it might just be made-up.
Anyhoo, every time i saw fish fillet on the menu, i will always ask the resto staff what kind of fish it came from. Because for one, i eat too many chemically processed food, I don't want to pay another one in a resto on a pricey price.
And, i think i feel that the resto management is being LAZY about it. When i came here to dumaguete / siquijor, they do not use cream dory in their fish fillet or fish & chips dishes. And, it just confirmed that those restos serving cream dory are just indeed being LAZY!!! I mean if people in this not-so-big city can serve "real" fish, there's no reason cebu city cannot.
