SINGAPORE anglers are seeing red over several sailfish hung out to defrost outside a seafood restaurant in Marina Country Club on Sunday. They say that the fish should have been released after they were caught. The eatery says the fish will be turned into fish and chips.
The sight of several sailfish being hung out to defrost in front of the Great Atlantis Seafood Centre in Marina Country Club in Punggol on Sunday has irked some Singaporean anglers.
The anglers say the fish should be released after they are caught.
Sailfish are so named for their dorsal fin, known as a sail, which often spans the entire length of the back.
The manager of Great Atlantis Seafood Centre, Mr Victor Yi, said: "The fish were not caught by us but by Malaysian fishermen in Malaysian waters."
He added that the restaurant bought six or seven sailfish for $10 per kilogram from the fishermen.
The restaurant plans to use the fish to prepare fish and chips. Mr Yi said he believes the fish have already been cut into fillets.
