I must be sincere, till today, I still don't know the difference between this two fish physically.

By taste, I know the one is sweeter and very tasty expecially when you boil, then other doesn't taste so nice like that. So is there truly a fake and original? How do I identify original one?

None is fake

Check the body design, one is thick black while the other is light black-blue wave

seunak2016:
original always WHITE, I think A is original not sure if B is original or fake

But A is not white na

Dialpad:
Is there fake fish again?

Even me I am just seeing this for the first time

66spirit:
The original like they say has very, very white under belly while the other one is not so white.
But fish is fish hence no fake but just that one is more tasty than the other..

Yeah, your right. Their taste and aroma are 100% different, Omega 3 fat in Original one is quite better.

papaflo:
And the award for the original goes to ....















(A + B) (A - B) =√AB

(A + B) (A - B)=(A - B)*
*=2(all squared)

Both fish doesn't have the same stripes
One has bigger stripes while the other has smaller stripes

obembet:

And very testy to

Pics not doing justice, but the original is always white.

Lmao... is there anything like fake mackerel? It's not like it's manufactured. A look-alike maybe, but the word "fake" is somewhat hilarious

That's the best way to explain it, same way I felt when my mum told me and I can remember my hostel mates in Uni making jest of me when I told them there is fake Kote and Titus and they were like who manufactured the fake, funny enough few weeks later, I saw it on Nairaland been discussed, I just have to show them before they accepted. The fake kote is worst, it will be tasteless.

Caseywilliams:
Picture (B) is the Original.

Why because... - It has wavy line pattern unlike Kampala with dotted lines. - Original Mackerel is not as big as Kampala. - It has an elongated mouth and its head is a lot smaller than that of Kampala. - The belly of original Mackerel is very clearness white and shiny while Kampala has pale dots on its belly.

Plagiarism. I catch you ooo

B is the original

A is the original scumbia

Which one is fake and original in something natural again? Different fishes looking alike.

The original Fish has a small head, smaller Eyeballs, with a long pointed snout compared to the other one. The original one is clear, pure white, and shiny with no spot. The other one has Spots all over it, it is bigger & longer in length too. Pattern of the Original Fish is wavy and comes with a very sharp, deep black stripes...
Unlike the other one with pale dotted lines.

observanc1:
Is it that it is a fake fish or just another variety?
Op, explain what u mean by fake please.

The fake variety of the original fish

Fish don dey get fake & original... As naija made nd aba made or naija & chinko(china made) ?

My momsi showed my gf the difference then,one is sweeter nd haz more oil than d oda,as in use am prepare corrct melon soup....i comment my reserve

Pastoshizzy:
Wait o. Is this Mackarel what we know as 'Titus' fish?

Yes, mackerel and Titus is the same, but of 2 species. One is more tasty than the other. The more tasty ones is darker in its skin, while the other look frail. It's easy to identify.

I am confused here with this post, has it gotten to the level there we begin to introduce fake and original in what we eat now? Naija which way?

Original scubian hope I get the spelling right is some how white, what I mean if you look at the skin is more brighter go be like say e dey white pig in slang and is sweeter

Just like asking if a black man is original and a white man is fake!

They are simply different species na

I think it's lack of basic understanding

Unfortunately even so called educated ones are calling a living fish "fake" instead of different species

sidney22:
The original has smaller eyes while the ‘fake’ has bulky eyes.
Learnt that from a fish seller.

Oh my God wow

Op, explain what u mean by fake please.

It suppose to be a variety, but they sell it as original to unsuspecting customers hence it becomes fake.. that's naija for you.
