As some of you might have heard from news, inedible cheap oilfish (油魚) is being sold as expensive cod fish (鱈魚) for making big profits. Oilfish and Cod fish seem to look similar, that’s why some consumers can’t tell the difference. 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.
