SEMAH FISH SARAWAK, SEMAH, Semah mahseer, (Tor Duoronensis), Organic Semah Fish

SEMAH, Semah mahseer, (Tor Duoronensis)
have a similar look with Empurau. It's cousin fish to each others. The main different is their size and colour of the body. The Semah's fish scale can be said more to diamond shape while Empurau's scale looked like "Old Time Chinese's Fan". The biggest ever seen by me was 6kg + +. For me buying semah fish is very difficult because it is very very sissy, the flesh decaying fast compared to other fish.
                  This kind of fish never became a fish of choice for restaurant because many the fish dealer never want to "GRADE" the fish carefully before sell it out. In my experience, some time almost 50% of the fish was
with problems, especially hard skin and spoil fish. In addition, the fish dealer never try to QC it thoroughly before sell it. If the consumer try it once, and comment it as bad fish, then finish......
                  For me, this is always a fish of choice to be serve on the table. Why?? I would say; Semah taste like Empurau but just almost half price of his cousin. That's why we do a proper grading to guarantee the quality and maintaining the good name of this fish.

 
This one is the semah that we always looking for. The fish will not so fast loko in size. Normally up to 2.5 kg consider safe. This fish will loko above the size of 3 kg more offenly.

For this reddish semah, it's mainly a small species fish where 1 kg /fish will be the loko point.

The lousiest semah is the black semah in sarawak. This kind of semah normally very skinny and mostly loko.





In the wild the overall availability of this fish is :«star  or  0.5-1 %
