Farmed fish on your dinning table.

The ocean is overfished. That's a fact.

I'm a passionate scuba diver and I tend not to eat a lot of fish except farmed fish. Occasionally I will eat some fish caught in the ocean when I got to Japanese restaurants.

Increasingly people are resorting to farmed fish and it has become a really big industry.

For example, Singapore is going big in farmed Barramundi.

"Barramundi Asia is Singapore’s first and largest farm to rear barramundi out of large sea-cage enclosures in the open seas. The farm occupies 7.5ha – equal to 10 football fields – off Pulau Semakau, boasting a current annual production of 500 tonnes."

It's really something. You can read more about it here.







Whereas those monkeys that run this country has done nothing much in terms of developing production of farmed fish. Their mentality is still in 14th century.

The other fish that's being farmed on a large scale is Tilapia.

And a lot of restaurants are serving them in various styles.



The thing about Tilapia is that it is you have to get them up to about 1kg then the fish will have some thick flesh.

Some of those that they sell in supermarket are sometimes as small as 600g which is bullshit if you ask me.

This one is a monster. You need a table of 10 to handle this bugger.



One of my favourite restaurants in Seremban is TC Keong. Lots of locals come here. Not sure if out of towners come here but some bloggers do blog about this place.


The dishes here are cooked with passion with home town feel. And the price is pretty reasonable.

And of course my main reason for coming here is the sweet and sour fish. Tilapia to be exact.


It's usually quite a lot for my wife and I, so we can only order one other dish.

This is my wife's fav.
