Please Who Knows The Name Of This Fish? by kay29000(op): 9:15am On Jul 06, 2021
I just bought this fish from a lady that Hawks frozen fish in my area. I used to buy Titus from her, and she didn't have today and sold this to me. She said it is Salmon, but when I googled Salmon, the picture I saw didn't really look like this fish.

Please someone with the correct name should tell me, thanks. By the way, I bought the two fish for 800 Naira...maybe that can help with the name. The woman says she normally sells for 500 each, but because I am her customer, she is selling for 400 each.

Lol! I know. That's why I was surprised she called it that. Anyway, I have been looking for Salmon for a while now ...but most of these fish sellers seem not to know it. And I don't like buying fish from ShopRite. I guess I will go there today to find out if they have.

No it's not. It's not today that I started buying fish. The red on this fish has a pattern on the body. It's not blood.

The person that told you herring is correct.

Locally called sawa.

The dried one is your bonga fish. It has a lot of tiny bones inside, which is the major downside to it.

It is not salmon.
