Fish inspectors of the city government pulled out from fish stalls at the public market here some 700 kilograms of assorted big fishes that were deemed unfit for human consumption.

Acting on a report from a consumer that had just bought spoiled fish from the market, the inspectors led by Solomon Nacario and Jo Umbac of the city veterinary office immediately pulled out from a stall large “maya-maya (snapper fish),” “lapu-lapu (grouper)” and “mamsa (bigeye jack)” fishes which were found to be rotten.

Investigation showed that the assorted fishes arrived Tuesday at the fish terminal but no vendor was willing to accept them because they were priced too high. It was not immediately known where the spoiled fishes originated.

When displayed on Wednesday at the market, the fishes showed signs of being rotten with a foul smell.

Upon confiscation, the assorted first-class fishes were brought to and buried at the city slaughterhouse located in Barangay Bajumpandan here.

Danny Kirit, the owner of the spoiled fish, may have lost more or less in proceeds, including his capital for the assorted fishes.

The fish inspectors also denied requests from people to bring home the confiscated marine products to prevent possible cases of food poisoning. (Juancho Gallarde)
