Oilfish is banned in many countries due to the fish oil isn’t digestible by human and can cause diarrhea.
Actually it is really easy to spot the difference between Oilfish and Cod fish. Oilfish as in the picture below shows grayish part on both sides, cod fish meat is all white in color. Next time remember to do this quick easy check before spending your money on expensive cod fish.

Wei Zhu Jia Tasty Home Recipe across from Queensbay Mall Penang
味之家小食馆 Wei Zhu Jia Tasty Home Recipe Restaurant is located across from Friday’s Queensbay Mall Penang. They serve varieties of Chinese and Thai food, more toward hawker’s food style. Food is not too bad, just portion is a bit small. Abalone sauce chicken is tasty, so as fried sotong and Thai style bean curd. Service is okay. It’s a good place for lunch.
